<![CDATA[[NodeBB] Custom fields plugin]]>Hi again , on our sire we require the use of custom user fields so we can refer to them with our own bespoke plugin we are going to develop , however this plugin https://github.com/NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-custom-fields fails to function on recent builds of nodeBB i wonder if anyone here has had any success in getting custom fields to work ? some of the code in the default nodebb suggests it is already possible .

Also this plugin would be more suitable as it suggests registration fields… but likewise it fails https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-itu-custom-registration-fields

Just following up on this thread (I know it’s old) but was curious to understand if it’s still an issue or not ?

Does this plugin make NodeBB crash, or does it actually install ?

I think the only way forward here is to fork and update it for the latest version, which may take some time.
