Bert,

You're probably better off getting wec_map support on the
webempoweredchurch.com forums. I monitor those more frequently than
the lists. That said, yes, you can map anything that has address data
associated with it. You just need to add TCA information to the
extension, either as a patch to the extension author or you could make
your own that just adds TCA entries. You would need to make it look
somewhat like this:$TCA['fe_users']['ctrl']['EXT']['wec_map'] = array (
		'isMappable' => 1,
		'addressFields' => array (
			'street' => 'address',
			'city' => 'city',
			'state' => 'zone',
			'zip' => 'zip',
			'country' => 'static_info_country',
		),
);

This is for the fe_users table, so adjust it accordingly. That just
tells it that it's mappable and the database fields that are
associated with street, city, state, zip, and country. Once you do
that, it should show up in the WEC Table Map for you to select.
