This feature is as noted a set of custom functions that require PHP and mySQL skills. Somewhat similar to creating a plugin. The hooks were added some devlopers could extend the GL registration process without hacking core geeklog files.
All of your custom functions can be placed in lib-custom like the provided examples. This way you can upgrade Geeklog and not effect your customizations.
You will need to create a new table for your additional fields which would be linked by uid. Then add your custom code to each of the templated exampes - replacing the sample code.
There are functions that would be called for:
- New member create: custom_usercreate()
- Member delete : custom_userdelete()
- Member display: custom_userdisplay()
- Member edit: custom_useredit()
- Member records update: custom_usersave()
- New Member registration form: custom_userform()
The custom_userdisplay() will display extra member information on the current user profile page. You would add the template variable {customfields} to the member profile template - noted in the function notes. You would probally edit this template to meet your requirements.

ok i get it, a few questions tho
I am sure i can change the database and the sample functions to suit my needs... problems are :
there are not sample functions for userdisplay and useredit, am I supposed to create from scratch ?
also i would like to know when each function is called, for example when I click on `account information` , which function runs , etc
it seems that custom registration atm works only upon registration and after that i cant change the accounts
thx

ok, i am using 1.3.8-1sr4
apparently u are talking about 1.3.9.rc2
just downloaded it and realized that the custon registration form on this is a bit different...
I could use this version to create my registration form and upgrade to final l8r if i knew that nothing will change on the custom registration form functions
possible to know ?
thx

Yes, I was referring to 1.3.9RC2. Changes were made to address a few bugs and missing functions.
I don't have any planned changes - but it needs to be used by users to flesh out any problems. So only needed changes and enhancments as required.

ok , i have finished with all functions and they seem to work ok, needs some php and mysql skills after all 
i have one little final problem, the only thing that does not work is to create a new user from the user menu as admin, it gives me an sql error
this is caused because the $uid variable is empty at that moment, I put an if in useredit function to check if uid is empty, if it is empty, I fill it with maxuid + 1
this makes the error disappear and the new user form appears, after that I realized that the next fucntion to be called is usersave (checked user.php for that) and that function does not have the appropriate sql to create a new user in my custom table I (atm what it does is to update my custom table)
I guess ill have to put a check there to see if uid is still empty and then to update or insert data in sql
my usersave function looks at the moment like this but doesnt work
/* Function called when saving the user profile. */
/* This function can now update any extra fields */
function custom_usersave($uid) {
global $_TABLES,$_CONF, $HTTP_POST_VARS;
/* this if checks if the user is new and then adds a new field in custom_memberinfo */
if (empty($uid)) {
DB_query("INSERT INTO {$_TABLES['custom_memberinfo']} (uid,gender,occupation,organisation,abbreviation,category,country) VALUES ($uid,'{$HTTP_POST_VARS['gender']}','{$HTTP_POST_VARS['occupation']}','{$HTTP_POST_VARS['organisation']}','{$HTTP_POST_VARS['abbreviation']}','{$HTTP_POST_VARS['category']}','{$HTTP_POST_VARS['country']}')");
}
DB_query("UPDATE {$_TABLES['users']} SET cookietimeout='{$HTTP_POST_VARS["cooktime"]}'");
DB_query("UPDATE {$_TABLES['custom_memberinfo']} SET
gender='{$HTTP_POST_VARS['gender']}',
occupation='{$HTTP_POST_VARS['occupation']}',
organisation='{$HTTP_POST_VARS['organisation']}',
abbreviation='{$HTTP_POST_VARS['abbreviation']}',
category='{$HTTP_POST_VARS['category']}',
country='{$HTTP_POST_VARS['country']}'
WHERE uid=$uid");
}
any help would be appreciated, its the only thing that still does not work in my custom form

Admin New User
I have fixed the previous problem I had with the usersave function, it now checks if the user is new and updates or makes new tables accordingly. The problem is that I had to make a small change in user.php I will quote my custom_usersave and my changed user.php, this might help because with this change, admin cant create a newuser correctly (he/she can only insert data to core tables). Also very important is the if condition I have at the beginning of custom_usersave, without it when admin clicks to newuser, gets an sql error...
looking forward for an answer to all this

This new feature needs testing by others and I appreciate that you have been able to do so and for the most part has been very complete.
I am interested in understanding the issues with any changes needed to the Core GL calls to the custom functions. I can see that there needs to be a call to the custom_usersave function in the Admin/user.php when saving a new member record. I missed in adding the call in the first condition - no record exists for member.
Have you discovered any other problems - with missing calls or other needed changes to the API calls?
It needs to be able to provide the hooks for your custom functions and it assume you will add all the logic needed in your custom functions to handle errors. There is also an ehancement request to enable a Custom_validation function.
I will add the missing call to custom_usersave in the admin.php.

except for the missing call to custom_usersave in admin/user.php
I would suggest that u add smth like the following, at the beginning of the useredit function
if (empty ($uid) ) {
$temp = DB_query("SELECT MAX(uid) AS max2 FROM {$_TABLES['users']}");
$TT = DB_fetchArray($temp);
$uid = $TT['max2'] + 1;
}
this is needed because $uid is empty when admin tries to make a new user and without that `if` gets an sql error
with these two changes and of course the custom code to all functions, custom registration works file, at least for me
I could post all my custom functions if anyone is interested

Sornok,
I don't see the situation where uid is not already defined. In admin/user.php edituser(), if the uid is not passed in (as when a new user), the uid is generated. The uid is generated from the record count in the users table or the max(uid) is used. The call to our custom is after this logic so uid should be known.

Ok, i didnt check the user.php logic but when I finished all my custom functions and had them work I tried to create a new user from the admin panel. Then I got an sql error, I checked the logs and saw that uid was empty. I didnt want to change anything on core files so I put this logic at the beginning of useredit. I'll check user.php though, sorry I didn't do this earlier...

I have emailed Sornok to try take him up on his offer of posting his custom_user functions code. However, I have not received a reply. I'm wondering if this isn't because of his or my SPAM filtering, so I thought I'd give it a shot here.
Sornok - I would love to have your code for these functions.
Thank you.

I would recommend adding
global $_TABLES;
as the first line in custom_userdelete so that the function can refer to the proper table indirectly, as is the case for the other functions you give in the examples. The full function would then be:
function custom_userdelete($uid) {
global $_TABLES;
DB_query("DELETE FROM {$_TABLES['custom_userdata']} WHERE (uid = $uid)");
return true;
}
global $_TABLES;
as the first line in custom_userdelete so that the function can refer to the proper table indirectly, as is the case for the other functions you give in the examples. The full function would then be:
Text Formatted Code
// Delete any records from custom tables you may have usedfunction custom_userdelete($uid) {
global $_TABLES;
DB_query("DELETE FROM {$_TABLES['custom_userdata']} WHERE (uid = $uid)");
return true;
}

I think there are a couple of other problems with the examples which might explain the difficulties Sornok was encountering.
1) In admin/user.php, the saveusers function calls custom_usersave in both cases, if the uid is about to be created (so there is an INSERT into the gl_users table) or if the uid already existed (so there is an UPDATE to the gl_users table). I believe the first one should instead call custom_usercreate.
2) In the same file, the edituser function calls custom_useredit($uid) but in fact $uid may be empty if a new user is being created. I believe it should instead call custom_useredit($A['uid']) so the proper uid is always passed to the custom function.
Hope that helps.
