Topic: Profile Tags - Add Tags to your profile

I was think it would be cool is people could add profile tags to there profile  just like blogs tags (and you could search members with via a tag cloud or by entering tags into a field

Check out the tag search in this video for the people browser from Ben Browns old site "Consumating.com"
that he sold to Cnet  that used profile tags

I'm a design guy and don't know enough Php or Ajax to do this myself so If you are already doing this and willing to sell the mod PM me with a quote

Re: Profile Tags - Add Tags to your profile

Is quite easy, I do not know if quite useful.


1. Create new Fields in control Panel, like for countries.

2. Name the field "tag" and add about as many values you wish.

3. In member_profile.tpl add link to TAG value as presented in member profile.

If you click on that, the research will return all members who choiced that tag when they registered.

Here is the link form : 

<a href="http://www.domain.com/?m=search&issearch=1&tag={profile_field_tag_value_id}">{profile_field_tag_value}</a>

4. You can display search by TAG it into the Search Form if you like.

Re: Profile Tags - Add Tags to your profile

It's not that easy because the thing about it is that It would be whatever the user wants to tag them self ( not predefined tags ) in a dropdown field   It would work the way you have seen on many blog pages or the way you tag your YouTube videos

This would have to be a one text field  that hold multiple tags

some websites make you separate the tags by comas some sites use AJAX

And when clicked in a tag cloud  or on the members page it spits back all users with that tag
