Hi Matt76,
I’m afraid there is no way to add that column at this time. You can make a Feature Request for this. I looked over on Devot:ee for an add-on that might provide this, but there didn’t appear to be any.
Is there anything else we can assist you with?
Cheers!

That’s not 100% correct… Depends on how it wants to be added. Maybe it’s not possible with a plugin, extension or option, but it can be easily added by modifying the members.php file and including the new column on the view_all_members function 😊

@_fyi - Modify the core files? That’s not recommended as it will break with updates to future releases.

Well if it´s necessary to add… If the client needs the column, what can I do if I have no other choice?

You can certainly do that if you’d like. We don’t recommend it since it doesn’t lead to the best experience later on, and we can’t support core hacks. If you feel comfortable changing core files and don’t mind keeping up with the changes, that’s fine.

What do you recommend then? Telling the client that it’s not possible?

Right, it’s not something the software currently natively supports. It would, of course, be possible to build a module to display whatever information you’d like to display for the client.

Can you build a module that adds a new column to the members table? Or you would be displaying this on a different table?

Hi _fyi,
I generally recommended that you create your own tables if you are making a new module. Adding columns to ExpressionEngine’s native tables could lead to problems for you or other users when it comes time to update. You can use member_id to tie your new tables to the standard member data.
Cheers,
