One of the most requested features for XenForo 1.1 has been the ability to define custom fields for your users. Here's a first look at the user field system we've built.
XF 1.1 Custom User Fields in XenForo 1.1

Just some small add-ons that will enhance the user area, i.e. displaying images for trophies.
Although the major add-on that some people might like is a bridge between XF and PhotoGallery. It's about 90% complete.

Can we use the value as a variable for something?

The custom profile field options look great. May want to add a bit of text describing what will be the phrase and what will be the translation (thinking the check boxes here).

I probably should take a look around before asking this but are we able to control who can and can't use custom user fields?

if you filtered your query with something like
WHERE field_id = 'users_city'
it would then should a list of all users and their answer to the profile field of City

I am guessing we need to do a callback if we want to do cascading profile fields?
i.e. something like,
Profile field Country,
If user chooses 'Canada'
then profile field state / province
would limit users choice to only Canadian provinces.

Will it be possible to have an option to choose what custom user fields might make it to mini-stats .xml file? or which custom field? This would be super handy for the chat network.
Right now we don't support that. It's certainly something we'd consider for the future though.

is it possible to make the Field updated by a time or a Button in the ACP to update all the members field all together
let say I want to make a castum filed that will show in which year = Year one
then I want to make it after while Year Tow . "Variables"
and it will be so much good if this will be in user title as well ..... I am in the Second Year ... after 2 years .. I am in the 4th year ...
something like that will be great

Maybe a suggestion for xf > 1.1
we've seen everywhere a php callback, why not here too?*scnr* (=> "sorry, could not resist" because kier did't know what scnr means)
e.g.=> dynamic drop down...
If you have a table with fields, which should be selectable by user as profile field...
I know it would be possible with own columns in user table + extending dw + ............ but with an dynamic profile field it would be IMO much easier to make something like:
table : cars
create callback:
Then you only need to set the callback class and that's it....
All selectable values are coming from the class and the admin don't need to change them manual in the acp....
SOrry if it's already available,... haven't seen it anywhere in the video

I cant wait to get started using custom profile fields 
You'd need an addon for that.
Well you'd need to override the {xen:helper username} and <xen:username /> functions to display the first and last names instead of the username. You'd also need to replace all instances of {$user.username} with the 2 custom fields for the first and last names.
(In case you hadn't guessed, it'd have to be custom-coded

Very happy with this feature. I especially like the use of $value, as I have used it to select an icon depending on what you picked (see picture). I also didn't want to display the field name, only the icon, so I made the text transparent for that field via extras.css, maybe there is a better way to do it. I was also able to use a css sprite, so that all possible icons come from one image. One thing I noticed is that what it substitutes for $value is the Text part (the right side value), not the Value part (left side value), which is the opposite of what I was expecting.

I have not moved over to XenForo yet, just have the licenses. Can anyone tell me if I can limit who gets to use the custom fields. My competitors actually try to market on my forum and I will need to try and prevent that.
