Hi,

I would like to make a custom registration form. By custom I mean require more information when a user signs up. The second thing I would like, is to be able to screen that information, and accept or deny the users signup via e-mail or wherever else. Thanks.

Geeklog has support for a custom registration form. Sample code is included system/the lib-custom.php

Did you try out the included sample? It implements a custom registration form that asks for the new user's full name (in addtion to the username and email address).

Extending that form shouldn't be too hard then ...

Okay, well if this already made, then how do I get it to be used as the active user signup form ? I don't know where to insert this code or how to use it, but i can change it. I know the code is in lib-custom.php but how do I implement that into my website, and require those fields to be filled in.

Open your lib-custom.php, search for "Sample Custom Member Functions", start reading ...

Okay, thanks, i read it and am now using it, but when a new register goes to sign up, the submit button doesn't submit anything, it just reloads. What am I doing wrong, i must have missed or mis-read something.

Is there something that needs to be inputed into user.php ??

Out of curiosity....if someone wants to simply add the password field and not have the user receive one, can this be done? If so....has someone done this and able to let me (us) know how to?

I've done a forum search for password, custom password, custom registration, and a couple other far-reaching search attempts and unless I am missing a crucial forum topic, I cannot find this.....

As an FYI....I am currently using Geeklog 1.3.11sr1 and phpBBbridge (add-on)....

Thanks in advance....

I to, have been experimenting with custom registration. My question goes a bit deeper.
Customizing seems to be the easy part...the question is, with a custom form, can it be made to tie in (I'm sure it can) to user privilidges (groups), ie: my site student, faculty, alumni as each group has access to different forums etc... Currently, I have to make these changes manauly to add users to specific groups.

How would you recognize (automatically?) if someone is a student, faculti, etc.? Answer that question and you can do it ...

Or you could let them chose themselves. See this sample plugin.

i did this on one website ...
following the instructions in lib-custom.php
(btw - i found no instructions on new fields in (users) table - so we added some fields)

but we got stuck at
Text Formatted Code

/* Called from users.php - when user is displaying a member profile.
 * This function can now return any extra fields that need to be shown.
 * Output is then replaced in {customfields} -- This variable needs to be added
 * to your templates
 * Template: path_layout/users/profile/profile.thtml
 */
function CUSTOM_userDisplay($uid)
{
    global $_CONF, $_TABLES;

    $retval = '';

    $var = "Value from custom table";
    $retval .= '<tr>
        <td align="right"><b>Custom Fields:</b></td>
        <td>' . $var .'</td>
     </tr>';

    return $retval;
}

this path is not valid in any case
Template: path_layout/users/profile/profile.thtml
profile dir does not exist so i used
path_layout/users/profile.thtml
but ... the thing does not retrieve the data from table
it is written in table, couse i checked in phpmyadmin

so ... how do i get
Value from custom table
?

Whoops. Fixed. Thanks for reporting that.

You have to read it yourself.
Text Formatted Code
$myvalue = DB_getItem($_TABLES['mytable'], 'myvalue', "uid = $uid");
... or something similar.
