Most likely you are looking for the module default.php right?
Out of curiosity, did you change the db to accommodate the structure changes? Or are you just repurposing the current fields?

all custom registration fields will have to go into the db somehow. make sure that you capture them...
since you don't know if a core update will change the core tables/functions, it might be better installing a third party extension...

Dear shraddha123,

very easily to add new field in joomla 1.6. due to new jform class provides Standard form field types control for more details (http://docs.joomla.org/Standard_form_fi ... eter_types).
So first open root/components/com_users/models/forms/registration.xml and add new element with proper attributes e.g. <field name="sir_name" type="text"
description="COM_USERS_REGISTER_SIRNAME_DESC"
filter="string"
label="COM_USERS_REGISTER_SIRNAME_LABEL"
message="COM_USERS_REGISTER_SIRNAME_MESSAGE"
required="true"
size="30"
/>
2nd step go to "xxx_users" table and add the "sir_name" field.
Note- only for front end registration. similarly you can do with profile.xml.

or another alternate joomla 1.6 by default profile plugin only enable and customize it or make new plugins on the basic of your requirement make a new plugins. for more details http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_profile_plugin
