Profile Types Splitter Premium

Profile Types Splitter Premium

This mod allows you to have completely different profile types on your site. Each profile type can have it's own field set. You can easily control from admin panel which profile fields should be shared among all profile types and which fields should be exclusive only for a particular profile type.

It has all the features of Profile Types Splitter Basic. See http://www.expertzzz.com/Downloadz/view/3322 to view all it's basic features.

Let's see it's premium only features here with screenshots.

On the first screenshot you can see the browse members page. As you can see now it allows members to see particular profile types only (or all). In the menu you can see a two shortcuts for searching a particular profile type only.

Most important feature of premium package is the ability to control profile fields appearance on search results. By default dolphin script is shows only sex, age, country, city and description. And there is no way to change it. But this mod allows. In admin panel, where you usually able to set up field's visibility (All, Join page, View Profile page, Edit Profile page) there is added an item "Search result page". After you've decided which fields can be shown on search results you can proceed to the Manage Fields Order page (shown on the second screenshot). Here you can build search results view for a particular profile type by selecting field from the list of fields which can be shown on search results page. Fields can be organized in a two column view with the ability to take the whole row for one field if you want.

See the third screenshot. You can see here how now search result can be controlled by you. As you can see - again, each profile type has it's own fields set and it's own fields layout.

And last but not least feature is redesigned search page. See the last screenshot. There is no more infinite blocks with only field per block. If member is interested only in Country search why he need to look through big page to find where he should put Country to search for? This mod hides all search criteria at all. And shows them only after member selected the criteria and pressed "Add criteria". After that selected criteria is smoothly slides down. It can be then removed back by pressing "Remove" link. Another feature is the automated filter for a profile types. If member selects Policeman profile type to search then the criteria list will contain only search fields relevant to Policemen only. Also sort order now is the same as search criteria were added. For example if member added first Rank and then Country, then search result would be sorted firstly by Rank and then by Country.

You can see this mod in action on a live project at http://www.hyefinder.com
But I must notice that on http://www.hyefinder.com some features relevant to browse page and search page were a custom edits and not included in this package. These custom features are the switching filters on browse members page after changing profile type to search, online members count, and on the search page the AJAX requesting of available Tags, Business Names, Cities and some other fields.

Although in the example above there was only 2 profile types - this mod allows you to create up to 30 profile types.

Notice:
This mod includes installation service.
Since this mod alters many aspects of dolphin script - it can be incompatible with your dolphin if you already have some mods installed. Or it can require adapting to all mods you have already. Thus if you have already some mods installed (mods for join page, page blocks and profile fields in particular) then before buying this mod contact me for me to be able to check whether it's compatible with your script.
Also be careful with altering field DateOfBirth, since if you'll hide it for a particular profile type - then this profile type wouldn't show at all on browse members page, because browse members page relies on age. But for additional price browse page can be tuned to meet your requirements.


UPDATE:
This mod now compatible with Dolphin 6.1.X versions. A few notes about version for 6.1.X.
This version didn't use custom AJAXed join page now and wouldn't allow new users to navigate through join steps. Instead when user chooses his desired profile type - page reloads with profile fields relevant to selected profile type. It is also doesn't checks NickName and Email availability during typing, because new dolphin 6.1.X join form already uses AJAX fields checking. This fact has an advantage - join page is not hardly customized and this means that many other mods for join page (like picture upload at join, for example) would be compatible with it.Also search page behavior has changed. It doesn't asks now to select and add search criteria. Instead it has tabs for profile types and on each tab all sections (that are defined from admin panel builders section) can be shown or hide by clicking on it's header. By default only top section is shown and all other sections are hidden. Thus you can put in the first section most common fields and in other sections only specific fields to make search page more clear for a member. See last two screenshots.
Another addition is that now you also able to control navigation menu items visibility for different profile types. For example you can hide Video menu item from any particular profile type.
And last but not least - now you can change the appearance of different profile types by assigning to them different css files. For example if you want Business profile type to look different than Personal profile type then you can just put in the templates folder different css file for each profile type (or only for Business and then Personal would use common css file) and this would change the appearance of profile page. In other words different profiles now can look different that the others.
