Need some advice

Post by dburniston »

Hi Folks,

I have a cmsms site running with CustomContent, Frontend User and SelfRegistration.

Step 1: I need to collect more information from the registration (ie - company name, address, phone, etc).

Step 2: create a page accessible to logged in users that lists the workshops we sell. Each will have a  "Register Now" button or link  that goes to a shopping cart (mals-e.com), passing the username or ID from the Frontend user system. The remote http function from mals-e will send back the product purchase details including the username. I need to grab that (I have a script for that) and then populate a table to track the user's purchases so I can present them with a page that shows their registration history.

How should I approach doing this? I'm assuming I can modify the tables and scripts for the Self Registration to collect more fields at time of registration. How would I handle integrating the script to capture the post-back from the shopping cart and add it to a new table?

I'm looking for some advice. I have minimal programming skills, but hopefully I can handle this.

Thanks,

...Dave

frontend users has very flexible system to collect data. check the documentation

shopping cart part might be a bit trickier feusers registers few variables you could use in your register now button like $feusers_username (or something similar, check the docs for correct names)

hope this helps
