Profile Elements

Along with the member's profile data, all of the member's content like photos, blog entries, comments, groups, friends, statistics, and other items can be displayed here.

This page is often used as a point of contact between members, so various options are available such as "Send Message", "Add Friend", "Block member", and so forth.

Customizable Profile Fields

Information that your members will provide about themselves will define your online community.

Therefore, you should create profile fields that make members provide information that is relevant to your social network's unique theme.

If you are building an online community for businesspeople, you might create fields like "Position", "Education", etc.

Multiple Choice Fields

You create a pull-down box or radio button profile field, you can give it one or more dependent profile fields.

Your pull-down box profile field is named "Marital Status", it might have possible values such as "Single" and "Married".

By creating a dependent field named "To" for the "Married" value, members that select "Married" can specify who they are married to.

Field validation

If the data provided by the member does not match this expression, you can choose to display an error message of your choice.

This ensures that members are inputting their profile data in the exact format you want.

Keyword Links

This means that whatever data the member provides in these fields will be separated by commas and linked to browse pages.

Personal Photos (avatars)

If allowed, members can easily upload a photo of themselves, which is automatically sized down and used as their personal photo (also known as an avatar).

This is displayed on their profile, in search results, when they send a message, and on many other areas of your social network.

If allowed, members can select from several privacy levels when managing their profile.

This limits who can view and write comments on their profile.

You, the admin, can decide what privacy options are available to your members.

Subnetworks

Your online community software has the ability to organize members into "subnetworks" or groups based on profile information they have in common with each other.

You can use this to limit access and privacy between subnetworks, display subnetwork-specific content in your templates, or to simply organize your members.

This allows you to serve them information or ads that are specifically relevant to their interests or personal characteristics.

Several Friendship Structures

You can select from four distinct friendship structures:

1) Nobody can invite anyone to become friends,

2) Anybody can invite anyone to become friends,

3) Only people within the same subnetwork can become friends, and

4) Members can only invite their friends' friends (second-level friends) to become their friends.

One-Way or Two-Way Friendships

You can decide if members have one-way or two-way friendships. Example:

Member A adds Member B to his friend list.

With a one-way friendship framework,

Member B is Member A's friend, but Member A is not member B's friend. With a two-way friendship framework,

Member B is Member A's friend and Member A is Member B's friend.

Verified or Unverified Friendships

You can choose whether or not members will have to confirm friendship requests.

Example:

Member A requests to become friends with Member B.

With a verified friendships framework, the two members will not become friends until Member B confirms the friendship.

With an unverified friendship framework, the two members will become friends immediately.

Friendship Types

You can create a list of friendship types for members to pick when describing their relationships with their friends.

Example: Your friendship type list may be something like "Co-worker", "Significant Other", "Acquaintance", "Close Friend", "Family", and so forth.

Members can pick from these when they add new friends or edit the details of their relationships with their friends.

If you wish, you can also allow users to enter in their own friendship type instead of picking from your list.

Sign-up by Admin Invitation

Sign-up by Members Invitation

You can choose to allow members to signup only if they have been invited by an existing member or an admin.

You can even give each member a limited number of invitations to send out.

By limiting signups in this way, invitations can become "valuable," which is a known method of achieving viral growth.
