I read the documentation that says if I want to use php in a template that I need to add it to the template functions.php but I'm not quite understanding it.

I want to add some php to my memberdetail.thtml custom registration form. If I understand correctly I would place the code in functions.php and then be able to call that code with curley queue { } brackets. That's all I know and I don't even know if that's correct. My question is the format, does it go in like this?



What goes where the word SOMETHING is? Would that be MEMBERDETAIL?
And I assume that I would place the my_variable word in the {brackets} in memberdetail.thtml

Or is the completly wrong?

Thanks,
Ron

Yeah, you're looking at the wrong place.

If you want to add things to the custom registration form, do that in system/lib-custom.php, function CUSTOM_userForm. You'll see the $user_templates->set_var calls there that introduce new variables.

Also search the forum for "custom registration" ...

I thought maybe I was in the wrong place. Thanks Dirk!
I did do some searching and reading of the documentation. But didn't stumble on the right combination.

I'm going to attempt this on my own, don't know how long it will take but if it works I'll have a new plugin or hack.I may be back for some direction or suggestion.

Thanks,
Ron
