Re: create new field

The real problem with this, is there isn't a good day todo it. Unless I am missing something wink

Basicly you can have the data the users input into the custom fields in its own table, but that would mean if you wanted the data to be displayed in posts, that you have to virtually execute a query for every single post in the topic, which is just dumb.

The other solution I have come up with is to have it append the new fields to the users table, however if you want to add a bunch of custom fields, this isn't the best idea.

So if anyone knows an acceptable way todo this, I would be more than happy to finish what I have.

I enjoy pie :)

Re: create new field

wel its obviously best to add extra user items to the user table since an extra table has no gain... problem is that everyone wants something different, maybe just a loose guide to adding an item to the profile, registration, under name on the topic and database would be useful
