  I'm creating a site for my high school reunion (20 years). I want to allow each user to include "extended" info on themselves, beyond what one can have by default. Specifically I want users to include text information that's beyond the 255-character limit of the "Extra Information" field, and upload multiple photos for their user page (ideally with text captions).
  
  For the user interface I'd like it to work just like the Members List, except that when a user clicks on a name they see the longer text info and photos mentioned above.
  
  Do any modules exist to allow this, or any other suggestions?
  
  Thanks!

  advProfile module - very customizable
  
  Members list can be the "directory", and then clicking on the name takes them to the advanced profile.
  
  You have to edit one core file (so that postnuke will send to the new profile module) but its a simple cut and paste. (Remember to back up the file you're changing!).
  
  The docs tell you exactly how to do it.

  Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried both modules.
  
  I had a heck of a time even finding advProfile, but eventually did. It installed fine but I get a "You have an error in your SQL syntax" error while using it. The same thing happened on two separate servers. A google search found others with the same problem. Since I couldn't even find a site with the module running to see it in action (suggestions welcome) I decided not to put any more time into it for now.
  
  I gave PNEmployee a whirl just a moment ago, which I do like. But it seems to lack the ability for the user to upload their own photo, something I'd need if I were to support photos. I'd also like the ability to host multiple photos per user, with captions.
  
  What I did do to get my longer text field working was remarkably simple. I just changed the pn_bio field in the database from a tinytext to text. This allowed longer field storage so that was that. I still have no image upload/display so my eyes are still open. If I don't find anything I can likely code it myself.
  
  Next up is to scan the old yearbook - Oy!
  
  Thanks again!

  Strange Google results huh ?...

  Gives on the first line the site where you'll get support and the file and the examples.

  No upload function in the advProfile though. Not planned and won't be. Sorry.

  My apologies - I did indeed find advProfile easily. I've been searching modules all day. Somewhere else zPersonals was suggested as a way to handle images easily, and that was the module I had a hard time finding. The site listed for that, http://www.mashdeco.com/, is essentially blank. I eventually found that one, which also failed to run smoothly.
  
  Thanks for the heads-up on lack of the upload function.

  Mashdeco is apparently back.
  Dunno what happened to Invalid's site though.
  
  Too much coffee for him.
  No fuss don't worry ! I always kept a low profile.

  hehe.. sorry.. like the front page says, "it's a long stupid story". I think internet years must be like dog years, even though it's only been a few months since I've been away it feels much longer..
  
  I've been meaning to do this and that, this and that.. but.. surprisingly, some things are more important :)
  
  
  PS: zPersonals can be found in the NOC.. thanks to Jimmie Hansson
