Add new fields for user Registration
« 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...

db_field_definitions.php

Code: [Select]

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

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. 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:
