 * Hi, I just installed this on WP 3.4.1 and all seems to be working so far (thank
   you!)
 * Would it be complicated to add custom fields to the form? I need to add input
   for telephone number and email address and if possible a checkbox list with 4
   or 5 options to choose from.
 * I will have a look at the code to see if I can figure it out although I don’t
   have any real plugin editing experience so hopefully someone else could shed 
   some light if possible?
 * Many thanks

 * The plugin does not provide built-in way of adding custom fields, but I can do
   it as a service as time permits. Contact me at [http://perishablepress.com/contact/](http://perishablepress.com/contact/)
   for more information. Thanks.

 * Does anyone know of a plugin that allows you to create custom fields and display
   them with some flexibility?

 * A plugin similar to this one.

 * No plugins come to mind, but WordPress’ built-in custom-field functionality is
   super flexible as-is. There are plenty of tutorials if it will help, including
   two of my own:

 * I ended up hard coding my own form, similar to this tutorial:

 * You can add whatever custom fields you need then, but it is a bit more complicated
   than using a plugin.

 * Hi Everyone
    I tryed adding a new custom Field to the plugin. And it does show
   up in the backend and the form «user_submit_mail» but I cant figure out how to
   send it to the database. Can enyone refere me to the right place of the plugin
   code? till now I edited user-submitted-posts.php and submission-form.php but 
   I cant find what I am looking for? Or do I need to edit the tables first? in 
   phpMyAdmin?
 * Sorry, my querstion seems a bit stupied. But I just cant figure it out rightnow.
   Could anyone help pleaase?
