Topic: adding fields to the user table

hi,

i am very new to punbb but very much like what i see.

i would like to be able to add data for each user....lets say name, address, etc.

is there something already built-in to allow for that?  i am using 1.3

if not, should i just add my fields to the user table...but then if i do, is there a built-in way to access the fields? 

if there is already information on this somewhere in the forum, i didnt see it...so please just let me know what to search on.

thanks so much!

Re: adding fields to the user table

There is no off-the-shelf solution for this, it can be implemented as an extension. You need to:

  • Add the corresponding fields in the "users" table

  • Add the additional fields to the identity page of user profile

  • Handle the Submit button presses on this page

  • Add new information about the user to the introduction page.

Re: adding fields to the user table

Are there any extensions for 1.3 to do this?

If you look at the code for the extension IP Geolocation for example, you can get an idea of how to do it. But there's no extension that lets you just manually change and add fields in admin area.

Thanks KeyDog, will have a look and see if I can mangle it to add the fields I want.
