I am going to write my own WordPress Plugin (from scratch).

I am wondering if anyone here has had any experience doing this and if they can offer any suggestions.

I have been looking for some sort of comprehensive list of all the "hooks", "Filters" and "actions" and what they are used for.

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?

Hi Xarxu,

Mostly, I just read online tutorials, but I also picked up a book on it so it would fill in the gaps. As it turned out, it wasn't that great, so I won't bother recommending it.

The problem I found was that a lot of the stuff online is out of date, so a lot of the stuff you'd read was no longer correct. But I'd imagine that someone has already written something similiar. I'd keep searching http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ and asking questions in their forums.

Good luck!
