How to add extra information for user registration?

[kety jhon]

I'm running Joomla 2.5.1 for my website.

For the user registration, there's only Name, Username, Password, Confirm Password, Email Address, and Confirm Email Address.

I'm able to go to 'user-profile' and enable fields such as Address, Country, etc..
However, i want to add additional information such as Company Name, etc..

May i know how can this be done?

You can change the language string for one of those fields to be what you want is one possibility.

hi kety,
try this code

jimport('joomla.user.helper');
$user = & JFactory::getUser();
$profile = JUserHelper::getProfile($user->id);
echo $profile->profile['address1'];

thanks Regards
Sophia
