Topic: Adding text area to registration page

Hi all, I am adding a text area to the registration page so I can determine who is signing up and who I don't want.  So far all the appropriate steps have worked flawlessly in the sign up process except the email to the admin.  Here is what the admin recieves:

Hello site name,

A new user has registered at site name.
This email contains their details:

Name - test
e-mail - [email protected]
Username - test
Who are you -

Please do not respond to this message as it is automatically generated and is for information purposes only

I've bolded the problem.  I haven't attached or included any of the files I've changed until I hear from you whether I should or not.  Don't want to anger anyone here by posting a lot of code.  Please advise of what you want me to do. Attach files or Include them in the post. The files I've changed are english.php, components/com_registration/registration.php and registration.html.php. Maybe I'm missing a file change or something.

Re: Adding text area to registration page

The only thing I can think of is this:

On line 237 of registration.php, be sure to add the new variable that holds the "who are you" data from the form.  So, if your variable is $whoareyou, then that line would look like this:

                $adminName2, $mosConfig_sitename, $row->name, $email, $username, $whoareyou);

That's where Mia grabs the info that gets put into the e-mail, so if that's missing, then you would be left with a blank.  Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.  My PHP is hacky at best. smile

Re: Adding text area to registration page

Thanks for your reply, however I have that variable in place.  I've double checked everything again and still get the same issue.  I know it has to be something I'm missing somewhere, but I'm getting frustrated as to where.  As no one has responded as to whether I can add my code or not, I'll assume it's okay (hope this is the right assumption).

Re: Adding text area to registration page

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to post code, as long as it's in code boxes, but it's not my show; so I didn't say anything. smile

Did you create a field in the mia_users table called "whoareyou"?  Registration.php pulls the information from the table, so if there is no field in the table for whoareyou, that would also result in a blank in the e-mail.

Re: Adding text area to registration page

Brightwork, again thanks for your reply.  Yeah I didn't either, but there were no rules that I could find yet so I thought I'd ask first. 

I have a field named whoareyou in the mos_users table but it still isn't working.  Here is the data for the field:

whoareyou varchar(100) latin1_swedish_ci  No

Is that the correct way to set it up?

Re: Adding text area to registration page

Still no progress trying to figure this out.  Can the mia developers provide some guidance in this endeavor? Have I followed all the right steps and changed appropriate code?  Was the database field addition correct? Should it have gone somewhere else?  I really need some expert help with this as I'm at my wits end.

Re: Adding text area to registration page

nootkan, send me an email with your mod'd files and give me a couple days.  I am trying to wrap up a few big items for the next release, but as soon as they are complete I'll get this working for you.

Re: Adding text area to registration page

Cauld, thanks for this.  I really appreciate it.  I realize you guys are real busy getting mia up to speed for the rest of us.  Can I attach the files to the form process used in this forum or should I wait for an email address from you?

Re: Adding text area to registration page

Nootkan, if you want to store this new field in the user table, you have to also add the property to the mosUser class in includes/core.classes.php:

class mosUser extends mosDBTable {
    ...
    /** add the following two lines to the list of vars*/
    /** @var string Who are you */
    var $whoareyou=null;

Also, remember you'll need to redo all your changes if you upgrade or reinstall.

Try what Al suggested, but if that doesn't do it for you click on the email link right under my avatar on the left of this post.

Re: Adding text area to registration page

Al, thanks for your help, however that didn't do the trick either so I emailed Cauld as per his request.

Re: Adding text area to registration page

big_smile Finally figured this out.  I had an extra space before the */ in core.classes.php on line 2076

/** @var string Who are you*/
    var $whoareyou=null;
