Inserting a "User Profile Field" ?

[tpearl5]

I'd like to create a plugin that inserts a user profile field, in this case one that is a yes/no selection and appears under the user options. I realize I have to run a query to insert the field into the user table, but then how do you go about registering the field as a variable and using it in showthread/postbit hooks?

If someone could point me in the right direction I'd highly appreciate it.

I am pretty sure there are some mods that add profile fields to the database. I think it is one related to gender - male/female for the toggle instead of yes/no, but it should still show you how to do it.

Thanks, but all of those require a profile field to be created.

Not a problem, hopefully you can figure it out, if not we will go from there.

Actually that is easier than I thought it was, but it makes perfect sense :up:

Good deal, glad it was of a help to you.
