This is a plugin to add a tab to the profile page, with various fields such as real name, education, and interest fields, for a more detailed user profile.

Changes in Version 1.1.1:
Removed custom fire event handler
Changes in Version 1.1:
Fixed broken view
Changes in Version 1.0:
-[fix?] not sure if the mistake was made after version 0.9, but fixed the issue with a permission error for non-administrators when viewing the profile page.
-[fix] fixed the 'edit my details' button not appearing for non-admins, made the button appear on all profiles for admins.
-[fix] fixed the mistake made leaving some things that should be hidden when the user has not yet set up their profile.
-[change] some minor css changes to the default theme for cleaner appearance and to prevent overflow
-[change] decreased the number of characters for some fields.

-[in progress] trying to query normal user data to display on the profile page with current data. (such as username and picture)
-[proposed] remove table added with the addon, use the normal user table. (since the dev's added some of the same columns there already...)
-[proposed] replace the 'info.php' module on the profile with one including the extended fields.

Unfortunately I cannot find a solution yet to having to select a birthday every time you edit your information, although this may not be my fault, as the form->date function should get the field data when the form is opened...

Thanks to Piggies for the base that I began on, and all the other developers whose work I used as a template.
Most of all thanks for the great platform to work on Vanilla!

You can find the latest unstable versions on github. I could use the help and suggestions of other developers.
