Is it possible to create custom user profile fields??

Standard fields already exist, like Real Name, MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, Location etc... but i would like to create some custom ones for my hifi site (like "Your amp", "Your speakers" etc...).

is this possible??

Also, if it is possible... is it also possible to get the custom fields to display underneath where it says "Joined:", "From:" and "Posts:" in the forum (and other places)??

Short answer: Sure you can, just edit the files and add the fields to the database table.

I'm a bit hungover, so that answer will have to do for now.

Files you edit are user.php and edituser.php and also the system template file for your user page. Then you need to update your system module.

If you're not really up for the task, then don't do it... It's a lot more complicated then just adding a bit of code here and there and adding a few table fields. In the next version (2.1) this feature will be added. Either wait for that, or as a non-hungover developer is he/she would do it for you

Don't even think for asking for a release date for 2.1

sometime this century, we think The devs are working hard on this now, but there will be many things in this release, so they'll be working hard on this for a while I think.

A workaround for what you want is to identify the fields that you do not need and re-label them. That's what I did for my site. This is especially useful for people with minimal PHP skills.

In my case, I changed 'Occupation' and 'Interests' to something more specific for my users.

Go to your language folder and change the labels from there.
