On the system each user has a "USER FORM" for the systems admin it's located here. http://www.mysite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=users

I do not use the "AIM" and the "YIM" so I wanted to change them to "Hotmail" and "Skype" I have changed the WORDS that appare as you look at it but when I try and enter an email Hotmail address id dose NOT retain this, nore the skype ID,

Q: What do I need to do to have the data base retain this info like all the other fields. (see code below)

$aim_text = new XoopsFormText(Hotmail, "user_Hotmail", 30, 30, $hotmail_value);
$yim_text = new XoopsFormText(SkypeID, "user_SkypeID", 30, 30, $skypeid_value);

Why not jsut leave the values as user_aim and user_yim and just change the text to display as you want?

:edit: Thinking about it, best thing is to just change the language file: language/**thelanguage**/user.php

Thank you, for your reply, I do not understand what you mean by this can someone put this in a plain english for me as I'm not too techy.

All you need to do is goto the file located in:

xoopsdir/language/your language/user.php

Find the lines (about half way down):



and change like this:
