This is going to be my first few post after so many years.

Yes, Php Fusion is #1 CMS ever lived in the internet. I was first attracted when there was php-fusion-themes site, showing me possibilities of customization.. It was all during my university years when I discovered phpfusion.. that's like what..7? years ago, I think it was v.3, and seriously v.6 was the longest turnover with huge mods. The next in line was XOOPS, i remembered.

I was only capable of html back then. PHP fusion was the primary reason I learn PHP and it took me two/three years to study up what Nick wrote. (yes, I open up every single file and studied the structure)
I slowly learned via W3 schools about php functions and now I can do things I can't with other CMS. joomla, drupal, wordpress.. function ability wise, PHP fusion has been the BEST of it.

It's simple, not hard to understand what's going inside the engine and its sql structure is straightforward. Very few functions around and keep things very much simple for anyone less with code experience to develop it into something else using this platform.

Instead of a single package, what I think is we all can start up a source forge in this domain, then get users to participate and co-develop another GNU GPL add-on "application" for PHP-FUSION, CRM, Auction House, B2b, b2c, blog engine.. u know those useful parts of the internet. Nevertheless, .. I think i read something in this site once stating that PHPfusion team wants PHP fusion to stay as a CMS, nothing else... so other projects were forked out by smaller group of team, and less support from the PHP fusion primary group and when update kicks faster than the actual mod development, they suffered compatibility issues.. u see most were freelancers and expect nothing in return. I respect that actually. Again, I have no say, but lets keep it to that way if everyone wants it. I am just happy its still here thats all.

With regards to : profiles should contain gender, actually you do not need any plugin. The viewer is profile.php?lookup = user id. All you need is to edit profile.php and you'll see tables. phpfusion uses ".$userdata['any_sql_column']." by default to display the field recorded under registered user. These are controlled by maincore.php and subheader.php. Don't amend any of these 2 file. You can start mod it by simply modify 3 files under..

edit_profile.php <-- form
profile.php <--- viewer, execute by profile.php?lookup=any_user_id.
the sql update or insert is found in update_profile_include.php.. <-- sql function.

it's that simple. just need some alteration.

These 3 files can alter all user mods. However, do not alter in any way the user_level, user_auth, user_password field those are associated to how phpfusion works like charm.
