Adding fields to User Profile (if not using CB)

let's say you need to add a field "Age" in the user profile.
First:

in phpMyAdmin - add the "age" field to the table #__bid_users

Quote

for instance
alter table jos_bid_users add column age varchar(50)

now you have to edit the User Class in the file bids.class.php
go around line 615 and you will find:

Quote

class mosBidUsers extends mosDBTable {
   var $userid            = null;
   var $name            = null;
   var $surname         = null;
   var $address         = null;
   var $city            = null;
   var $country         = null;
   var $phone            = null;
   var $verified         = null;
   var $isBidder         = null;
   var $isSeller         = null;
   var $powerseller      = null;
   var $modified         = null;
var $paypalemail = null;
   function mosBidUsers( &$db ) {

add the $age field like this:

Quote

Third step - edit the template:

t_userdetails.tpl

add wherever you need the field like this {$user->age}

and

t_myuserdetails.tpl

you have to add somewhere the input for the age. it must be within the form tag and it would look like this
