Am I right when I understand your project to be something like a combination of your privacypolicy plugin, the profile customizing plugin and this template switcher you releases these days?

Maybe it would be possible to add some configuration input similar to the one on YouTube? You could implement sth. like a div based profile layout an then every div could be given a position on the page. you could allow two columns for example and then have column position 1,2,3,4... and so on. With this way every user could easy create a custom profile layout.

Another thing I'd really love to see would be avatar resizing but I think this concerns your plugin only marginal. This is the only big problem I really have with CB. I just can give maximum width and height not the proportions what leads to inconsistent avatar sizes.

Something like this. I figured a lot

This would be quite tricky to code without hacking CB core. Also, the current layout options are quite flexible, but people just cannot use them for some reason.

This has really nothing to do with my upcoming plugin.

MIKKO will there be any hacking of the CB or joomla core, or manual editing of the db with this?

No. There is a (currently crappy) administrative panel and the plugin introduces a database abstraction layer - similar to joomfish - to control tab access and layout.

First demo online on my server. User profile type functionality is turned off because it is not ready yet. Also, next to nothing has been done to polish this towards something that can be released.

I will be looking testers soon.

Comments and feedback are welcome.

Mikko, what about JACL or whatever it is? What if I want to use that one PLUS this one, will there be any problems and what will actually change etc.
