Topic: modding profile, question on update user table

I'm trying to add some stuff into the users profile.  looking at profile.php around line 843 I see what looks to be the update command for the users table. am I just not looking close enough or is this where you're breaking out the form values for the insert into the database? guess not because my data isnt being updated.

any help?  thanks.

Re: modding profile, question on update user table

ok I got it to work.

question though, you're creating an array of posted stuff based on view of the profile.  I added my custom thing to the essentials view, and added my post variable name to the extract_elements list, but it still does not populate the $form array w/ the posted element.  if I explicitly add it:

$form['mycolumn'] = $_POST['mycolumn']?$_POST['mycolumn']:"NULL";

right after the array is built (line 675 of profile.php) it works, but this seems hackish.  the update section seems to be out of scope of that section, is there some other way to get my column into the update using the conventions you've defined?

thanks.
