Adding to the user registration process [message #6265]

I've done some code diving, and I will continue to do so, but any tips or pointers would be appreciated. What I want to do is add a required field to the registration page, and then when the form is submitted, I want to validate the value of that field against another table in the database. If it does not validate, I don't want to process the registration -- i.e., they won't be able to register for the forum.

TIA,

Dave

Take a look at how this is done for other required options such as email,login and password.

Ok, I've found the register_form_check function that appears to be what does the check for required fields.

Is there any way from the admin area to add a custom field to a user profile like VBulletin, or do I need to hack on the source for that? I'd really hate to do that, 'cause it'll make updates harder.

Once I've made the changes to register.php.t, I assume I have to rebuild my theme for those to take effect.

BTW, Thanks for the help. I don't mind code diving, but pointers like you've given are very helpful to me Smile

Hacking up the source is what you'll need to do I'm afraid.

I'm almost there Prottoss, thanks your all your help. I've got my routines in the correct place to do the validation of the extra information, and I've verified that by having the validation routine print out HTML comments with the results of my checks.

What's not happening is having any of the error messages show up. For example, here's one of the check lines:

if( empty($this->memnum) ) set_err('reg_membernum', '{TEMPLATE: register_err_member_notexist}');

register_err_member_notexist is in thm/default/i18n/english/msg in the data directory as is all my other error messages. I've rebuilt the theme.

I'm sure I'm missing something very simple, but damn if I know!

TIA,

Dave
