Try this as a form:

(:fox addprofile redirect=Profile.{$Author} :)
(:input hidden author {$Author:)
(:input hidden target[0] Profile.{$Author}-Preferences:)
(:input hidden template[0] Profile.Preferences-Template:)
(:input hidden target[1] Profile.{$Author}:)
(:input hidden template[1] Profile.AuthorTemplate:)
(:input submit post "Create Profile Page":)
(:foxend addprofile:)

and to include the link to the {$Author}-Preferences page on his/her
Profiles.{$Author} page, put somewhere on Profile.AuthorTemplate:

[[{target[0]}|My Preferences]]

No, Fox has not tried to set password attributes, and probably would
fail! Or perhaps by using a custom filter function something like

$page['pwedit'] = "id:".$fields['author'];

can be written into both pages.

It goes a bit beyond what Fox's filters wee meant for, i.e. manipulate
input field values, as $page['pwedit'] should be written after the
pages are created.

I need to think about this.
