Extra Registration Fields

fraze	#1 6. April 2012, 20:28
Members	I've done some searching, but unfortunately can't find anything specific. Is there an easy way to add extra fields on the registration page? The extra user fields you can enter from the admin section only appear to work on the profile page. thanks

Team Thanked: 52 mal	You can do this: <input type="text" name="ruserfirstname"> Where 'firstname' is the name of the extra field.

Members	ok, will that enter them into the database after registration?

Administrators Thanked: 265 mal	They do work on registration page. Make sure you use proper tags in users.register.tpl, e.g. {USERS_REGISTER_FIRSTNAME}. May the Source be with you!

Administrators Thanked: 265 mal	Tags are case-sensitive. May the Source be with you!

Hmm, I couldn't reproduce it:

Admin / Users / Extrafields

users.register.tpl:

XML/XHTML

        
              <tr>
    <td>{USERS_REGISTER_FIRSTNAME_TITLE}</td>
    <td>{USERS_REGISTER_FIRSTNAME}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>{USERS_REGISTER_LASTNAME_TITLE}</td>
    <td>{USERS_REGISTER_LASTNAME}</td>
</tr>

Results

May the Source be with you!
