So, essentially, if you know how to skin, it's doable, albeit a lot of work and tinkering? A bit of a headache, but a lot less complicated than I thought, from the sound of it. Thanks, guys! I really appreciate it!

Would custom fields work similarly on the profile as they would when coding a mini-profile? For example,

{foreach $[user.mini_custom_field]}{if $[user.mini_custom_field.name] == "CUSTOM FIELD 1"}$[user.mini_custom_field.value]{/if}{/foreach}
Could I use the same variables on the profile section, or does it use something specific for the profile area?

Also, if anyone has code they wouldn't mind sharing (I wouldn't use it, of course. I'd simply study it to see how it works), that'd be awesome! But I totally get it if people would prefer not to share, too.

Thanks!

I feel so bad for being a bubble burster, but while profile applications are possible in Proboards, there's a big difference between them and Jcink profiles. There's no real cap on Jcink profiles, be it character cap or number of custom fields, but Proboards has both a character limit and a limited number of if statements (which are required for custom field usage), limiting the amount of fields you can put into your 'app', as well as the length of the information that can go into said fields. For reference, I tested out a very basic outline of what a profile app may have looked like back when I wanted to code one myself, but it cut off my biography area at not even five hundred words. That might seem like plenty, but that was without filling out any other major fields (like personality, since fitting in personality traits would probably cap your if statements). Pretty much the only sort of app I could see working is a very simple/minimalistic one.

To answer your question, though, yes! User profile custom fields and mini-profile custom fields are written the same way. Bonus advice is that the User Profile template encompasses every tab in the profile (so it's stuff that'll show up even on the notification page, for example), whereas the Summary template is stuff that only appears on the base profile page.

If you'd like, I can send you Revo's current user profile code over Discord if you wanna poke around. Shoot me a DM over there if that sounds good to you. o>

it might be possible to append html tho w/ javascript/jquery to get around this limitation, but idk. haven't played w/ it really.

Yeah, I think this might be true, because I've seen a site us an application and their profile, and it didn't exactly strike me as limiting in any way. There was plenty of custom fields and several boxes for paragraphs of text, though, I'm not nearly skilled enough for that to sound like an option to me xd
