Hello.

I have been using XOOPS for a little time now, and so far I like it, (although I would like to speed my site up a bit.)

I want to build a new site, and after looking around, XOOPS looks as though its going to be the best for me (primarily because I can't bothered figuring out how to do something on a different CMS)

The new site will have a member signup, but this time I want to grab more information from the members.

So to the question, is there a hack or module that will replace the existing user registration, or do I need to modify it myself?

If I do need to modify it myself, can you give me some help figuring it out?

I want to grab probably the following info

house number/name
street
town/city
post code/zip code

telephone number
mobile number

I may want to look at making some of the fields into mandatory fields, would you know how to do this as well?

Thank you

Dave

Any ideas at all?

Anyway, for now the new site is in testing, and so far I am pretty happy with it, I tried using multimenu before, but never really got very far, this feature combined with tiny content is allows you to make custom pages and custom navigation menus very easily, I am now looking at adding this feature to my other site, as the articles module I am using there is starting to get a little harder to manage now, as the articles I am using are becoming less linear, I think multimenu and tinycontent will be real useful there.

Anyway, back to my post, anyone got any tips on creating the extra fields I need, or what php files I need to edit.

I mean I can easily add fields to my database, that isn't a problem, and I guess I can look for the page that is called during registration, and I should think that with out 'too' much hastle I can just hack itup a bit to add the extra fields, but what about calling the info?

For example in the user profile, how would I add the extra info?

How would I make the extra info available only to the user them selves and the webmaster of the site?

I am surprised no one else has wanted to store this sort of information?

Thanks for any help

This tutorial seems to work fine:

BTW there are already some posts about this. Another great feature of xoops: the "search" function

Thank you.

perhaps I was missing something, but I did not find anything relevent when I did the search back when I first posted the question.

Thank you for the link
