Title: Add new fields for user Registration
Post by: rycat on June 25, 2003, 11:18:28 AM

Hello,

I know that this has been discussed a few times already however I couldnt find a post that could help me... I read this topic http://www.4homepages.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3277#3277 and still couldnt figure it out.

Basically what I would like to do is add two fields to the User Regisration form, Contact Number and Organisation... I would like these to be required fields and for them to be editable in the User's control panel.

Hope the above makes sense. Also I apologise in advance if this question has been dealt with before and I missed it in the forums... If so please point me to the post...

Thanks again...

Ok... Ive added the following to:

db_field_definitions.php

Code: [Select]


$additional_user_fields['contact_number'] = array($lang['contact_number'], "text", 1);
$additional_user_fields['organisation'] = array($lang['organisation'], "text", 1);


lang/main.php

Code: [Select]


$lang['contact_number'] = "Contact Number:";
$lang['organisation'] = "Organisation:";


Am I  on the right track? Not really sure where to go from here...please help!!!

Thanks again

Ok Ive added the input fields in the registration form and it all works fine... except I dont think the information is being added to the database in fact if I look in the database I cant see the two new fields I added to the db_field_definitions.php file.

<--EDIT-->
Do I need to add the database fields manually in mysql?

Can someone please explain what should happen when I add the two above lines to the db_fields_definition.php file?

Should it then automatically add these fields to the database in the 4images_users table?

Please help Im losing my mind trying to get this working!!!

no, u must FIRST add manualy all needed fields in the database.
4images doesnt "SELECT" all fields by default (SELECT *) but only specific fields, because of that, when u add new fields in the database, 4images would not "SELECT" them and u wont be able use them, that why u need add the information about the new fields in db_field_definitions.php

Thanks V@no,

You are a massive help... My SQL is a little dodgy any thoughts on the SQL syntax to alter the 4images_user table for the two fields I need?

Thanks again.

Try phpMyAdmin (http://www.phpmyadmin.net). Nice and easy tool to manage MySQL databases.

There is nothing you need to do.  Additional member fields automatically show up as editable fields in the control panel.  :wink:

and read comments and examples inside that file.
