Has anyone ever added new fields into Create Account form?

[avaya1]

Hello, if anyone has ever added new fields into Create Account form (create_account.php file) please share your experience, especially if there any simple ways or contributions to do that. Thanks)

Yes - it's fairly simple. Just add them as input fields, make sure that they either write to the database (hence you need to have database fields as appropriate) or set up a session or whatever.

 

Once they are in the database you can then use the inputted stuff elsewhere...

 

So, just what are you trying to add/do?

The second address line (or something like that) contribution does that.

I am trying to add something like Cell Phone number field into registration form)

 

I understand that I need to add new fields into the database table, but I also need to add some new fields into few PHP files, like: account_create.php, account.php, account_edit.php... and may be some else..

for the cell phone number its easy. just replace the

 

define('ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER', 'Fax:'); with

define('ENTRY_FAX_NUMBER', 'Mobile:');

 

in english.php

 

But really has anybody added a field in create_account.php like say username
