Hi Adrian
As a first simple answer: You can add new dialog controls to the
"useredit" dialog. You will find the dialog in the "Configuration"
section (modules/adminInterface/dialogs/useredit). All you have to do
is add new "controls" (new content nodes). When using the dialog to
add content it will automatically add the new content to the user
repository.
In addition you might want to extend the Magnolia user classes to
return the new property values.
Keep in mind though that you should also prepare a "Magnolia Update
Scenario", because if you want to update Magnolia, you must be
prepared to update "adminInterface" with your custom dialogs and check
whatever class you have extended.
Therefore another idea could be to use the data module and be
"independent" of above extensions. There you create a new nodetype and
add the required fields (controls) to the dialog. When you create a
new node, use the same user id as name. You then can write your own
Java code to read the content. In one project I extended the PUR
module (Public User Registration) to not only add a new user, but also
create a new data module node with other profile information (like e-
mail, phone, etc.).

Hi,
How can I add to Users repository a new field for Users (for example
age, gender, address)?
I also want to see some of these (ex. gender) in the AdminCentral.
The other should be available in the Dialog.
Can anybody give me some instructions?
Regards,
Adrian
