Currently there is default user fields in the admin section. I need to add an extra field. e.g. Country : Country list

How can I accomplish this task?

Answer 1

To add new profile question you have to utilize admin panel. Just go to URL www.yoursitename.com/admin/users/profile-questions

On this page you will get options for add Sections and Profile questions. Fill up the form and save using submit button.

Regarding your query, To add a question with answer as drop down or list, you need to add them with Answer type field as drop down.

Once you create new question if your site supports multiple language then you have to put corresponding value in yoursite.com/admin/settings/languages

FYI: new questions are stored under base section.

Answer 2

I'm using idatemedia's dating software so there is no smarty templates. It's pretty much all straight PHP and version 7.2. I'm able to add a custom field but since I know mysql I prefer to add it via php and insert the field into the table structure. Most new fields I add are not blob text fields. They are characters of around 1000.
