Subject: Customize Registration Page?
Date Posted: 29 April 2003 at 9:37am

Can someone please tell me how to customize the the profile fields on the registration page?

I'd like to remove some Profile Information, such as ICQ Number, AIM Address, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger fields, etc. And add fields to collect information that is specific to my website--for example, City, Favorite Movie, or whatever.

I'm new at this, so clear steps would be greatly appreciated!

open ur Register.asp and look for those lines :

 

  <tr bgcolor="<% = strTableColour %>" background="<% = strTableBgImage %>">
         <td align="left" width="50%"  height="12" class="text" background="<% = strTableBgImage %>"><% = strTxtAIMAddress %></td>
         <td height="12" width="50%" background="<% = strTableBgImage %>"><input type="text" name="AIM" size="30" maxlength="60" value="<% = strAIMAddress %>" /></td>
     </tr>
     <tr bgcolor="<% = strTableColour %>" background="<% = strTableBgImage %>">
         <td align="left" width="50%"  height="12" class="text" background="<% = strTableBgImage %>"><% = strTxtMSNMessenger %></td>
         <td height="12" width="50%" background="<% = strTableBgImage %>"><input type="text" name="MSN" size="30" maxlength="60" value="<% = strMSNAddress %>" /></td>
     </tr>
     <tr bgcolor="<% = strTableColour %>" background="<% = strTableBgImage %>">
         <td align="left" width="50%"  height="12" class="text" background="<% = strTableBgImage %>"><% = strTxtYahooMessenger %></td>
         <td height="12" width="50%" background="<% = strTableBgImage %>"><input type="text" name="Yahoo" size="30" maxlength="60" value="<% = strYahooAddress %>" /></td>

Okay, I'm learning.

Does someone out there have a customized registration page with new fields? Is it necessary to edit any pages other than register.asp?

I'd like to see how it's done.

Thanks.

If you like that the data that is submited from register.asp, and is keeped on the data base, will be showed on another page, yes  absolutly.

It will be quite complicated if you don't know HTML, ASP, and databases.

You need to create new input boxes on the registration page to collect the information.

You then need to read it in, and depending on what sort of data you are getting check it for any malicious code.

Once this is done it needs to be saved in the database, for this you need to create new fields in the tblAuthor table in the database to hold the new data setting the data type of the fields for the type of data you want to hold.

Once all this is done you then need to alter any page you wish to show the new info on to read in the data from the database then display it in the HTML. One of the main pages you will need to edit is probaly the pop_up_profile.asp page which will need to be edited anyway to remove the parts that show the ICQ, AIM, address, etc.

Thanks for the info BoRg.

I just know HTML, and can see now that there's no simple way to modify the registration page.

Maybe one of the geniuses out there will write a registration-mod someday??

I just wanted to say that boRg's response to the registration form changes made my job a lot easeir.

This was the easiest one to read and understand. After doing a search and going through 60 or so posts on this subject, I almost decided to stop looking and start a new thread, when I found this one.

Too bad it wasn't at the top of the search page It would have made life a lot easier for me.

Although I did not start this thread. I want to say thanks to boRg.

thanks

NooB
