Hacking CB to maintain a Joomla hack is asking for trouble and headaches and you will have serious issues when upgrading.

My suggestion is to create needed CB fields via CB Field Manager and use SQL statements to initialize data from you hacked joomla user table to CB tables (see CB API documentation - its FREE). Then remove the hacked code and restore hacked table.

Yup Nick, that's true! I think that is the best way to go and avoid future issues as you said. Thanks for your advice and tips. I really appreciated that.

Have a nice day.
