Profiles is a complete biography / profile management system. Profiles does not require that each profile be associated with a WordPress user.

== Description ==

Profiles allows the easy display and management of personal profiles / biographies, or any other similarly periodic information. In particular, it adds a "profiles" tab to the management section and allows you to easily edit information about the profiles as well as associate an image (with optional watermark) with each profile.

NOTE: The is currently a Beta release. While the core functionality is enabled there are several issues and at lease one know security hole. Updates will follow shortly, however, this should only be used in it's current form by someone who knows what they're doing and doesn't mind getting a little "dirty" in the PHP.

Please post any questions or bugs to [Christopher O'Connell] (http://compu.terlicio.us/about-contact/). Feature requests and comments of a more general nature are welcome, however, they will likely not be implemented immediately.

== Installation ==

1. Edit options as appropriate in `profiles.php`.
1. Upload the `profiles` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
1. Create a "page" using the "template/people.php" template. Note: people.php is a K2. You should be able to easily adapt it to other themes.
1. Start adding profiles.

At the moment, the relevent `mod_rewrite` rules are not added automatically. In general (assuming that your page is at /people) the rule should look like: `RewriteRule ^people/([^/\.]+)/?$ people/?people_slug=$1 [QSA,L]`.
