Create Account

[nicsean]

Hi there,

 

I'm working on our store and need to customize the 'create an account' page by adding extra fields (ex. Membership ID, Research Interests, Qualifications, etc). How do I go about doing this? I've been reading through all the posts and can't find exactly what I need.

 

Thanks for any help!!

Do you know much about PHP?

 

You'll need to edit the page to include the extra boxes, edit the MySQL database table to include the new fields, then edit the PHP script so that it stores the new values in the appropriate columns in the DB.

 

Secondly, not only will you need to amend the create account page, but will a customer be able to edit these details? If so you'll need to edit the page where they can amend their details. Also, on the Admin side, you'll need to amend the page where you can view a registered customer's details...

 

Plan it properly and it should be fine.

 

Cheers.

Well, not a lot, trying to learn it on the fly here as I've been editing the php pages on the site (I know, I know, not a good idea).

 

You'll need to edit the page to include the extra boxes, edit the MySQL database table to include the new fields, then edit the PHP script so that it stores the new values in the appropriate columns in the DB.

Uh oh, sounds like a lot more than I've been doing already with the products and home page. Is there any way of being shown the steps of how to add one box?

 

Secondly, not only will you need to amend the create account page, but will a customer be able to edit these details?

Don't think we'll need to allow them to amend it as it'll be a one time thing when they go to pay their membership.

 

 

Thanks,

I would like to modify the create_account_page. What I mean, is decrease the size of the table. You may be asking why. At end of this post I will insert the URL. Most of the pages display correctely. Even changed my desktop to 800 x 600 just to see what other user using 800 x 600 resolution. At home page and product listing, and few others, all is fine.

 

But when one views the create account page, it pushes off the screen on right side some. So now one needs to scroll to the right.

 

Been to stylesheet and create_account.php. But I do not see where one can adjust table or the country field down a bit.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
