 * Hello,
 * This plugin is very close to what we need for our ESL learning center. We do 
   most registration manually as people come in, but our main need is to be able
   to add/track some custom field values that would be part of the student info …
   like language level, some demographics, etc. that is not part of the current 
   fields. How would we add custom fields to this and other screens in the system?

 * There is a large “Notes” section that is stored with each customer. Would that
   serve your needs? Adding fields is possible, but would require some technical
   work and I unfortunately don’t have the time right now. Are you or someone you
   know a developer?

 * I have done some development outside of WordPress … any pointers? I mainly just
   don’t have a lot of time to monkey around right now, so if you told me what to
   do, I could probably do it to extend the custom fields myself … The notes field
   would not be sufficient – I need fields to do search/sort kind of stuff off of…

 * The variables for the customers table are defined in classdex.php. The function
   that builds these tables is only called when classdex is installed, so you would
   need to uninstall and reinstall for any changes to take effect. Once the variables
   are defined in the database you’ll need to edit create_customer.php and edit_customer.
   php to get the variables to display.
 * Best of luck!
