New features: - multiple-select lists (took the easy way out and stored as serialized data could be improved to store the data in normalized tables)
I really hate serialized data, so an improvent would be welcome, if possible.
- key=>value mapping for select lists
- data validation for each field (eg. email, numbers, strings, postal code)
- complex data types (eg. address: street, city, state, etc) (this is not as important as the previous ones but may be useful for some people)
Maybe the more complicated stuff could live in a contrib module?
Maybe it would make sense to let user profiles be cck nodes instead. That would avoid a lot of code duplication.
Yes, this is exactly what comes to mind when we talk about data validation, complex widgets, etc. Gabor
