Is there a way to include multiple website fields in a profile?

When I create a new contact or edit an existing one on the back end, the Contact Details section has an "add" link to add additional website fields and assign each one a different website type, so each contact can have URLs designated for Work, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

However, when I create the profile that people will use as part of the membership application, I can only add the website field once. There appears to be no option to enable people to add a second or third web site to their profile.

I've read the section on Profiles on the Wiki and searched the forums and haven't found an answer to this.

Is there a way to enable users to add multiple website fields to their contact details using a profile?

Thanks,

I found the easiest way to do this is add custom fields for additional WebSites.

Hope that helps....

Looked into modifying the core code and it doesn't look like a trivial fix.

But I found a workaround that will work with Profiles and Views. (Seems pretty obvious once it dawned on me.)
Simply use custom fields to store the URLs instead of the built-in website fields.
Go to civicrm/admin/setting/preferences/display&reset=1 and turn off 'website'. Then, add a custom field for each type of URL you need to collect/display. Now add your custom fields to your Profile or View.
