I need to implement some custom code-level and database-level changes in my Discourse Rails application to meet my specific requirements.

1. Additional Fields in User Registration

- I need to add extra fields in the Sign-Up form for user registration.
- These fields should be manageable using the existing custom fields feature in the Discourse application.

1. Update Password Encryption Method

- Currently, Discourse uses “PBKDF2” for password encryption.
- As per my requirement, I need to switch to “MD5” instead of “PBKDF2”.

1. I needs to create some API’s to call my another application. when create new user then I need to add that user to my discourse application

Please assist me with the implementation details and necessary code changes.
