I'm sure anyone who knows PHP is familiar with phpBB, so I'll just assume you know what it is ;).

I have it all setup, but I'm curious if you can change the profile fields. IE: Instead of "Occupation" and "Interest", I want to have "Discipline" and "Graduating Year" in their place. Can this be easily done? And if so - a nice step-by-step method would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!

Not sure how clean of a solution you want.. but the easiest way is to simply change the text. Open the file /language/lang_main.php for edit, search for the $lang['occupation']. And simply edit the text from $lang['occupation'] = "Occupation" to = "Discipline", etc. Note that this simply changes the appearance of Occupation to Discipline, the database field will not be changed.

Ahhh...it was the language PHP file that I needed to change, makes sense ;). I was editing the user_viewprofile.php where the fields were, and I changed the wording, but it wouldn't change in forum.

I'll give this a try, thanks!
