UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? Get additional user info upon signup

Does anyone know how I could make additional fields on the new user signup that would be required fields. I would like to get the new users real name, province and city. I know that you can add additional fields to the profile section but would like to somehow make the additional fields mandatory to fill out before a user can post.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Marty

Yes - it's possible.

You need to add the fields to the newuser_signup.tmpl template.

Then in the adduser.php script - you'd need to add get_input calls for each field you added, and add the new fields to the INSERT statement (to store them in the database).

There's also a section that says "if all required info is not filled in, then we can't proceed", adding your variables there would make them required on signup as well.

For what you suggested, you could use the existing Name and Location filed and wouldn't need to add any addtional fields into the database.
