Adding fields to registration 

Hello,

I have a "unique" client that wants extra fields added to user registration in addition to username, first name, last name etc.   They want address, phone etc etc added to the actual registration of the user.  These fields will populate another table, as they do not want to use the available DNN profile.  Like I said, they're unique. 

I figured out how to change the labels by going to the Languages Editor.  How do I add fields to this form?  Right now I can't figure out how dnnpropertyeditor id=userEditor control is created.  I think I found the code behind in the source, DNN\Source\Library\Controls\User.vb, but am not sure where the actual presentation layer is created since it isn't created in the code behind.

I realize this may mean changing the core, but we don't have a choice.  We also have to break up the username into 3 text boxes, one for each section of SSN.  Yep, they want SSN as their username.  Please don't ask. :)

 Thanks,

 Chad

 BTW pasting into this forum is a bit buggy.  I assume you guys already knew that though.

Re: Adding fields to registration 

The "cleanest" way is to make a custom module that gathered the information you need and created the account for the user.

This would not require you to change the Core code or do anything that you would regret later.

You can create a user with code such as:

UserController.CreateUser(objUserInfo)

Re: Adding fields to registration 

Thanks Michael.  I think that is a great idea.  If I were doing it from scratch that is the method I would use.

I actually am using the WorkControl UserManager Module because of it's flexibility of allowing non-admins to register users.  I have decided to hide the entire DNN "UserEditor" control and put the required form on the page.  I then edit the source of WorkControl to supply the CreateUser Method with the appropriate variables just to register the user in DNN, but also capture the other data and insert it into a non-DNN profile table.

I guess that is sort of a custom module but WorkControl gave me a bit of a head start on coding, and also allows me (out of the box) to allow the assigment of roles etc on registration. 

Thanks again.

Chad

PS I don't think notification is working either as I never got an email saying you responded.
