Hello there. First off, let me say I truly appreciate this modification - it has been working for us flawlessly for some time now.
I wanted to add another custom field that could be edited by a specific membergroup. The purpose would be to allow my "leadership staff" to modify comments on particular users, without the users being able to see or modify their own comments.
I realize that there is another modification that will do this, but it only allows the comments to be seen in the user's profile page. Having the comments next to the user name (as Custom Profile Field Mod does) would be a great benefit, since we could go through posts in a certain forum and know "at a glance" particular data on each user.
I am, understandably I hope, a bit leery of assigning about two dozen staff members will full administration rights. Therefore, I believe that this would be doable by simply making the whole "Is this user an administrator, if so then allow them to view the field / edit the field" check against a field other than administrator. I could then assign that membergroup as an additional membergroup to each staff member, which would allow them to change/update and view each user's "hidden" profile field.
I am comfortable with backing up and changing the code in my forum, but I don't know what in particular to change.
Thank you for your time and, again, thank you for this excellent modification.
