CI problems with changing registrations

[dominicd]

i have a CI "cms" based on the FB clone I bought quite awhile back but decided i wanted to change my first problem is how I can not modify certain things first off being the registration. Below I would like the registration to be alot more simple with the option of possibly adding info later.

 

What I would like the registration to be is;

 

Username, Email system.

 

below is the ci register from the script I try to modify it and every time when i take out the lifestage_id and highschool and modify the other classes the script wont work what am i doing wrong

 

 
<?PHP

Have you also modified the database accordingly? Its likely it doesn't like null values being passed to it.

[dominicd]

That was not the problem ( the db issue ) towards the bottom of the posted code i missed the

function _registerFrmRules()

Where it was calling for an input from that option. I guess I have another question. in the script things are being called on for instance it has security questions that a pre defined in the database but lets say I want to remove them and let a user input the question how would I go about that?
