Thanks for replying.

Initially, just 2-3 new fields like:

1) A drop down list of industries (as used by many job boards) - fixed, pre-populated data
2) A drop down list for rating something - numeric - i.e. 1-10
3) Another drop down list with assorted fixed, pre-populated data

This is basic stuff. Once I get a handle on what I need to change (and how), I can add items on my own.

Thanks again.

Okay, that\'s a little better.

I imagine you want to tie these things to other objects. Ratings specifically.

I\'d still suggest you make your own tables and throw all (as much as possible) your code into functions in lib-custom.php

Great. Does anyone have any examples of how to do this.

Creating a new table is no problem but seeing how such a modification was done would be most helpful.

Thanks.

I\'d suggest a place to start is reading the plugin.html file under geeklog/docs. It provides good insight into your questions.
