What File(s) Do I Need To Edit | Forum

Hi I've transferred my membership from my site that used another type of
dating software by using the CSV file importer found in the store and I
have uploaded my members photos to the ow_userfiles/plugins/photo
directory. I had to add two additional columns to the ow_photo table in
the database. I am using this
https://developers.oxwall.com/forum/topic/12723 as a starting point and a
reference as to what I need to do to link the photos with the proper
member(s). I am not a coder and I hope that I am on the right track.
Anyways, my question is what file(s) do I need to edit to add the
additional database columns. Thanks in advance and any help would be
greatly appreciated

Every table has a tablename.php file and a tablename_dao.php file in the BOL directory. You would add the extra field names in the tablename.php file
Also remember when update time comes you may have issues because your changes in the code will be overwritten and if they add a column to that table then your changes in that file will be overwitten and your site might crash because of db error.
I do not recommend editing the core files for this reason.

Thank you for your response and valuable input, that makes sense to me. What would you recommend to link the transferred member photps with the member?
