   Hi,

   this is a very useful lik, by the way I can't understand well how to add a new column in wp_users table and allow Admin to fill data in this column using standard back-end 'add-new-user' form.

   Could u please help me in this?
   Thanks in advance
   Adriano

   don't add new column to wp_users. for additional user data is table wp_usermeta, where is stored:

   id - id of row in table
   user_id - which user wordpress should be associated with additional data
   meta_key - name of additional data
   meta_value - value of additional data

   so for example you want to add for users 'favorite color'. now you want to add next column to wp_users called 'favorite_color'. don't do this. instead save this data in wp_usermeta with this function:

   update_user_meta('12', 'favorite_color', 'pink');

   this will associete pink as favorite color of user whos id is 12.

   if you want to read favorite color of user 23:

   get_user_meta('23', 'favorite_color', true);
