Hi coders,

I am a newbie but managed to fit a custom registration form in the standard user registration process, and I have found this guide very interesting. My question may look silly, but I am going crazy to find a way to set some fields as not required, but I am not coming out of it. I have already changed the db to accept null values for those fields, but when I try to register, it simply does nothing, unless every field is compiled.

Any (precious, vital, you win) advice?

Thank you all

I know this is little late, however I have only just come across this tutorial.

i have added to form fields to the user registration form successfully. i would now like to add the extra fields to the email sent to admin.

The fields I have added to the form are, Phone, Mobile, Address, Postcode.

I would like this information to appear in the admin email.

Please help. I have posted this on the joomla forum but no one can help.

Steven,
Thanks for this. I use JomSocial 2.2.4 and Jom 1.7. The very first thing the client would like his visitors to see at registration is Gender, Birthdate and County, then followed by the good ol’ standards Name, password etc…

I can think of several ways to theroetically do this: one being Collect the data and write it directly to new fields in jos_users then populate jos_community_fieldsValues . What do you think about this process? Do you think there is a better way? Thanks for your expertise.

thank you,
I did all the steps, but I have two problem:

1- when I fill the form in the front-end, nothing happens and the empty form loads again.
2- when I fill the form in the back-end, I recieve the error “jtableuser::store failed”

how should I solve the problem? any ideas?
