Hi all,
I'm looking to identify certain members as being special somehow. I'm thinking along the lines of adding a check box to the Edit User page, visible by Admins only.
This would add user meta data to WP that can then be picked up in the theme using get_usermeta.
Any ideas on how this would work, or anyone willing to create it (even at cost)?
Users or blogs? I think most of us have gone the blogs route instead of users.

Users, definitely users. I should have mentioned I'm using BuddyPress, too.
Did you ask over in there support forum? Because BP is more user-centric, and you'll want your output in BP.

I did yeah, but so far nothing useful has come up. Jeff Sayre mentioned his Featured Members Widget but that doesn't allow for changing a user's profile based on their status as a 'featured' member.
I can think of ways to do it within wpmu (adding a field to the usermeta would be the easiest) but I have no idea if they would work within buddypress as we're not using it.

I figured usermeta might be the way. I'll see what the BP folks have to say.
Thanks!
