Hello,
I am working on my first addition to my board. I had installed the MSN Messanger addition that I found the other day and my members went nuts! They loved it!
Anyway.....what I am trying to do is add the ability to add their msn name when registering, through their control panel, from the "Add User" in the admin panel and so on.
So far I have gone into the admin panel and edited the registration template to add that field above the "AIM" field. I have also edited "register.php" and "user.php" searching for "aim" and everywhere I find that I add the exact same thing above it of course editing out the "aim" and entering "msn"
My questions are: ........Am I on the right track to make this work? Is simply searching for every template with any reference to "AIM" in it and adding a reference to "MSN" and searching every script for the same and doing the same going to work? Am I going to have a problem with tables in the database? Will I have to create a table in the database?
Whew!......I have stopped editing for now until I find out if all this is correct so please.......advise?
