Custom User Fields#
Custom user fields allow you to define additional input fields that you want your users to query when they register or edit their user profile. The values recorded in this way can be displayed in the user profile or in the sidebar of forum posts.
Manage Custom User Fields#
The custom user field management can be found in the admin panel under Users → Custom User Fields → Custom User Fields. There you can manage the existing custom user fields and create your own user fields if required.
Create Custom User Fields#
To create a custom user field go to Users → Custom User Fields → Custom User Fields in the admin panel and click on the button Add Custom User Field.
The following input fields are available when creating a custom user field:
| Field Name | Description |
