Changing fields in user registration form

Hi guys,

Im building a site and i need to cut down on the amount of detail gathered during the registration process and for the life of me i can not find the template html file that relates to the core user.php for editing this (am i even in the right area? :) )

I have been able to find and edit files that are parts of modules (where you have a php and html file working in partnership passing strings between the two) but im stuck on the core files.

Any pointers / tips would be great.

Many thanks,
Dean

Are you talking about /register.php?
There are hardly any items to remove (except maybe website URL, which is not a required field anyway), without impairing you or your site.
What is your XOOPS version?

In the extended profiles module you can edit and remove registration fields and steps.

Does this still not meet your requirements?

This just may be a nice way out, seeing as you do not need to hack around with any core code.

In addition if you were to load the module, you could hack away at the module's registration code instead of the core. I just find it a lot cleaner.

Hi guys,

Wow thats a quick reply :) Yes, sorry, to many bits going on, i do indeed mean register.php. The reason for the change is im trying to build up a job board, and with the nature of a jobboard i need to make it increadably easy for people to register to be able to upload CV's and apply to jobs in the fastest manner and the only fields that i really need are :

Username
Email
Password
Verify Password
disclaimer

My plan would be to copy the files im changing, up load them and if all goes bad to put the origionals back in place.

My project site is currently sitting at http://www.timetomoveon.co.uk before going live and running on version 2.3.1

Is there a module that allows you to customise the registration fields?

Thanks for the help guys.

lolpants answer above sounds like it's exactly what you're looking for then.

Hi,

I've just downloaded the extended profiles module and am going to start playing around with it. Thanks for the advice guys.
