First, you will want to open up "english.lng" Look for this line $txt{'749'} = "The 'number of posts' box can only contain digits.";
and place your new item name here after this line, like so. $txt{'750'} = "Car Info";
Now update this line near the top. keys(%txt) = 749;
to your new number count... keys(%txt) = 750;
Now open up your "load.pl.Look for $userprofile{$user}->[9] = $userprofile{$user}->[9] ? qq~<a href="aim:goim?screenname=$userprofile{$user}->[9]&message=Hi.+Are+y
ou+there?"><img src="$imagesdir/aim.gif" alt="$userprofile{$user}->[9]" border="0"></a>~ : '';
and add $userprofile{$user}->[20] = $userprofile{$user}->[20] ? qq~<font size="1">$txt{'750'}: $userprofile{$user}->[20]<br>~ : '';
Now open up your "profile.pl.Look for: <tr>
<td width="320"><font size=2><b>$txt{'231'}: </b></font></td>
<td>
<select name="gender" size="1">
<option value=""></option>
<option value="Male"$GenderMale>$txt{'238'}</option>
<option value="Female"$GenderFemale>$txt{'239'}</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>
and add the following code BEFORE the code above. <tr>
<td width="320"><font size=2><b>$txt{'750'}: </b></font></td>
<td><font size=2><input type="text" name="carinfo" size="50" value="$memsettings[20]"></font></td>
</tr>
then look for </tr><tr>
<td><font size=2><b>$txt{'96'}: </b></font></td>
<td><font size=2><a href="$memsettings[4]" target=_blank>$memsettings[3]</a></font></td>
</tr><tr>
<td colspan="2"><hr size="1" width="100%" color="$color{'windowbg3'}" class="windowbg3"></td>
</tr>
and add <tr>
<td><font size=2><b>$txt{'750'}: </b></font></td>
<td><font size=2>$memsettings[20]</font></td>
</tr>
then look for &ToHTML($member{'name'});
and add this on the next line &ToHTML($member{'carinfo'});
then look for print FILE "$FORM{'hideemail'}\n";
and add this on the next line print FILE "$member{'carinfo'}\n";
Upload those files and vola! Now if you would like the new field shown in the actual posts you need to edit display.pl
Look for this line: $memail = $userprofile[2];
and add: $carinfo = $userprofile[20];
then look for: print << "EOT";
$star<br><BR>
$userprofile[11]
$postinfo
[b]and add:[/b]
$carinfo
Ok,... I think that's it! It's really a lot easier then I probably made it out to be. Basically you are adding a new array element which happens to correspond to the # of lines in a members .dat file. The default set up has 20 lines so we're adding a 21st line. The element is automatically added to the array at the time the script runs so you can easily access it.
