Hey guys, ive setup front end users and self registration modules, and both work really well. I just need to add some custom fields to the form, but i cant for the life of me find out how/where...

I try adding them to the FEU interface but dont show up on the registration form, any suggestions would be great!

Many thanks!

Whenever you add a new user property, you then need to associate that property with your group. So, click on the Group tab in FEU, select the desired group, and then in the field status column, associate the property with the group as desired.

Excellent, thankyou for the reply. Is there anyway i can change the order in which they are on the form?

ie.

Full Name
Email
Confirm Email

At the moment its

Email
Confirm Email
Full Name

Thanks again!

Also, im using SelfRegistration in conjunction with FEU, is there anyway to have the admin activate an account instead of the user being able to activate the account via link in email?

Many thanks!

To answer your first question, you can change the order on the same page where you define the fields that are associated with the group--there are up and down arrows to the far right of the field listing. Just click on the arrows to move the fields around.

For your second question, go to the Self Reg module and select the preferences tab. Uncheck "Require the user to confirm registration via email" This will eliminate the confirmation email.

If you want an admin to approve new users, then you will need to set up two groups--for example, pending and approved. Have new users register into the pending group and then have the admin move them to the approved group after confirming their registration. There may be other ways to accomplish this same thing, but that's how I've done it in the past.

Another option would be to just have one group and then have the admin check all new users that register and delete the ones they don't want. On the preferences tab, you can put a check in the box for "Send an email notification when someone registers" and then enter the admin's email address below that so they will be alerted whenever a new registration is logged.

Your an angel, thankyou for your time.

I have pending/members groups setup, so thats all good Just found that preferences box thanks to you, hopefully that should all be good to go!

With regard the registration field order, i have them setup in FEU, but for some reason, i can alter the order of Email and Password, they're at the top and cannot be moved....any suggestions?

You're welcome. I'm glad it worked out for you.

As for the email and password, did you add these fields? If so, you don't need to do that as email and password fields are automatically generated.
