It would be very nice if we could create additional custom fields in profiles. Perhaps even specify if it's required or not.

    Do you have a use case for this? Or why you'd like to do this? We're working on ways to integrate your current app's logins into Tender (you can try it out now actually!) which should hopefully alleviate any need for custom fields.

    If there was a way to link a Tender profile to an account on my app,
    that's all I'd need.

    How can I try it?

    We just deployed this and haven't gotten a chance to fully test it out in production, but you can read how to do this in the FAQ: Share your own site's authentication with Tender

    We'll be adding a config option, link to your profile, still figuring out how to do that.

    It would be great have an option to link the users avatar and name back to an account profile in our own site.

    I think this would be quite simple to implement. Allow us to set a url in the config that has the users email address attached to it as a parameter. For example:

    We would set: http://example.com/admin/user/edit

    And you would set the href to: http://example.com/admin/user/edit?email=[email blocked]

    It may not work in every case, but for the most part this would be a real time saver.

    That probably won't happen. Right now we're already linking user's names (to supporters) to their users pages. If we start linking avatars and names to different places, it's going to get crazy messy real quick. You will, however be able to send custom fields to Tender, one of which can be a link to their profile field. We have this functionality pretty much done -- just need to style it and write up a faq for it.
