The manage field types screen allows you to manage the kinds of fields available to your user profiles. You can click "EDIT" to edit an existing field type, or "CREATE NEW FIELD TYPE" to create additional field types.

As shown above, each of the text inputs has the following function:

Field Type

This is the internal name given to the field type. You should specify this with letters only (underscores are also allowed).

Save Script

This field allows you to specify special processing of a field type when saving. By default (without any script) inputs are pulled from the $_POST variable and stored to the database.

View Template
