This is a small tip which can be used to create custom profile fields.

Go to: "templates/default/panel.tpl.php" and change the names of any of the fields to what ever you desire, for example you can change:

<tr>
	<td class="fieldtitle">{l_YahooM}</td><td colspan="2">{yahoom_v}</td>
</tr>

To:

<tr>
	<td class="fieldtitle">What mobile phone(s) do you own?</td><td colspan="2">{yahoom_v}</td>
</tr>

Do the same in "templates/default/various.tpl.php".

Done!

This is not really a "custom profile field", you basicly just altered an existing field name in the templates.

is it me or is the layout here kinda weird? :s

If you use IE, the layout will be stretched because of the lines of code and IE's failure to support overflow:scroll.

Yeah, but it works (and it keeps the Forum lite)?

$lang['YahooM'] = 'Yahoo! Messenger';

You also have to change the above in "languages/default/lang_*.php".

Well, you just change the label names of a field, not create custom fields. Therefore, I have moved this topic to Resources.
