Overview

The main goal is to allow administrators to add/edit user profile fields. These fields may also be categorised, ordered, locked, hidden.

Database Changes

New tables

There are 3 new tables:

  • user_info_field
  • user_info_category
  • user_info_data

Splitting the current user table

In version 1.9, the following fields will be moved from the user table and placed in a category named optional

  • icq
  • skype
  • yahoo
  • aim
  • msn
  • phone1
  • phone2
  • institution
  • department
  • address
  • url

The remaining fields will remain hardcoded in the user profile form.

Admin's Interface

Various field flags

  • required - a required field. Fields marked as required will also be displayed in the signup form;
  • locked - can the user edit this field?;
  • visible - can the user see this field?;
