How do I add profile fields to the main account settings page under my account..edit? I am adding a few admin fields that only I adjust for users and I want to add the fields to the main account settings page. Right now if I add a category basically all the user sees is a blank page when they click on that tab which is stupid bc I don't want them to see anything.

⋅ Categories: Drupal 4.7.x

I searched Google for the same issue and got this topic. Horray, I thought. But no answer... I found the solution elsewhere on the site though:

In profile.module, in function profile_field_form_validate, comment out the following 3 lines:

if ($form_values['category'] == 'account') {
  form_set_error('category', t('The specified category name is reserved for use by Drupal.'));
}

And in function profile_form_profile, change the following line:

//if (!isset($fields[$category])) {
if (!isset($fields[$category]) && $category != 'account') {

Hope it helps someone else.

After implementing the code above, when I attempt to create a new user, it doesn't give me the form fields for username or email address and when it attempts to validate on those fields when submitted...I get an error. Workaround?

I was looking for the same ability in Drupal 4.7 (you're working in 5, right?). I brought the logic of your patch into 4.7, and it seems to work properly EXCEPT that I had to patch a line in user_register to use array_merge_recursive instead of array_merge:
if ($extra) {
$form['account'] = array('#type' => 'fieldset', '#title' => t('Account information'));
$form['account']['name'] = $form['name'];
$form['account']['mail'] = $form['mail'];
$form['account']['pass'] = $form['pass'];
$form['account']['notify'] = $form['notify'];
unset($form['name'], $form['mail'], $form['pass'], $form['notify']);
$form = array_merge_recursive($form, $extra);
}

Otherwise, the account values in $extra clobber those in $form: you lose name, mail, pass, and notify. Other than that, it seems to work fine.
