    Posted: 25 October 2003 at 6:49pm

I've been using the WWF for almost a year now and it really has been great (flawless).  I was hoping someone could tell me how I can add a field in the registration to add a phone number when someone registers to my forum.  I am using my forum for my labor union where I work as an informative discussion area and when someone logs in, I am confirming them via phone BEFORE they gain access (for obvious reasons).  I am going to try this myself eventually but was hoping someone has already done this to give me ideas

Thanks

Burnjovi

You'll need to add a field to the database for the phone number and then mod the register.asp to add that field and mod pop_up_profile.asp to show it...

If you can't do that you can just change the text of one of the other fields to phone no. on the language file, like change Interests or whatever you don't need to phone no.

Thanks for the help, I was thinking about changing one of the existing fields like you mentioned but seems I usually end up screwing something up.  I am fairly new to ASP but have been trying to learn it (with the help of some books).

no one uses the damn ICQ.. atleast i havent seen any one using it.. so just use the ICQ feild to collect number..make a new graphic button with text "SMS" or "mobile" if u r collectioing cell phones number.. which r a better idea instead of collection odinary phone numbers..

and on the registration / profile pages also.. call heading of the ICQ field "SMS" or "mobile"

Funny you mentioned ICQ.  I am in the process of trying to change that to PHONE NUMBER.  In my case, I need to call EACH member to be sure they are a member of my UNION against the list I haveBEFORE they can access the secure area.  As far as the membership, EVERYONE loves the forum but of course you will always have a few who think it's too difficult to register AND remember the login name and password they signed up with  hehehe

THanks for the help, will try and let ya know
