I want to write my own wordpress plugin.

Does anyone know where I can find a lits of hooks and filters and what they do?

Also, is there a book that is a good reference for people who want to write wordpress plugins?

This is good advice.

The area I want to focus on is this.  I want to add some additional fields for new users.  In addition to a username and email address, I want to have more fields.  I want to require that more information be inputted.

Maybe such a plug-in already exists or perhaps something simular. Does this sound familiar?

Is this anything to do with the forum plugin or is this of no relevance?

If this is pertaining to the forum why write a plugin when you can create custom profile fields within the UI?

and yes, several plugins already exist for extending the wp user profile and adding additional fields…  but I would consider andy's questions first…   we dont add our fields in the wp user profile because most of our users dont want their forum users inthe wp admin in the first place…
