Customize registration page Joomla 1.5

09 May 2010

I am going to do a step by step on how to create extended registration fields. This involves editing of core Joomla files, so it is recommend that you keep a back up of the files before editing them.
Step 1.
First add 2 columns to MYSQL and I used this code:

ALTER TABLE jos_users ADD business VARCHAR (100) NO NULL AFTER name;
and
ALTER TABLE jos_users ADD phone VARCHAR (100) NO NULL AFTER business;

Verfied the columns existed.

Step 2: I use dreamweaver for modification to php code so I will list it the way I did it. I modified 3 files:

libraries/joomla/database/table/user.php

Find this part of the code from file above and added what is business and phone: (below)

 
var $name         = null;
   /**
    * The login name
    *
    * @var string
    */
   var $business      = null;
   var $phone      = null;
    var $username      = null;

   /**
    * The email
    *
    * @var string
    */
   var $email         = null;
components/com_user/views/register/tmpl/default.php


Find this part of the code from file above and added what is business and phone: (below)		 
<tr>
   <td width="30%" height="40">
      <label id="namemsg" for="name"><?php echo JText::_( 'Name' ); ?>:      </label>   </td>
     <td>
        <input type="text" name="name" id="name" size="40" value="<?php echo $this->user->get( 'name' );?>" class="inputbox required" maxlength="50" /> *     </td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td width="30%" height="40">
      <label id="businessmsg" for="business"><?php echo JText::_( 'Business' ); ?>:      </label>   </td>
     <td>
        <input type="text" name="business" id="business" size="40" value="<?php echo $this->user->get( 'business' );?>" class="inputbox required" maxlength="50" /> *     </td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td width="30%" height="40">
      <label id="phonemsg" for="phone">:      </label>   </td>
     <td>
        <input type="text" name="phone" id="phone" size="40" value="<?php echo $this->user->get( 'phone' );?>" class="inputbox required" maxlength="50" /> *     </td>
</tr>
components/com_user/views/user/tmpl/form.php


Find this part of the code from file above and added what is business and phone: (below)		 
<tr>
   <td width="120">
      <label for="name">
         <?php echo JText::_( 'Your Name' ); ?>:
      </label>
   </td>
  <td>
      <input class="inputbox" type="text" id="name" name="name" value="<?php echo $this->user->get('name');?>" size="40" />
   </td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td width="120">
      <label for="business">
         <?php echo JText::_( 'Business' ); ?>:
      </label>
   </td>
   <td>
      <input class="inputbox" type="text" id="business" name="business" value="<?php echo $this->user->get('business');?>" size="40" />
   </td>
</tr>
<tr>
   <td width="120">
      <label for="phone">
         <?php echo JText::_( 'Phone' ); ?>:
      </label>
   </td>
   <td>
      <input class="inputbox" type="text" id="phone" name="phone" value="<?php echo $this->user->get('phone');?>" size="40" />
   </td>
</tr>
Now to show the result in the backend area


Edit the page which displays the users in the backend: administrator\components\com_users\views\tmpl\form.php		 
<tr>
                   <td class="key">
                        <label for="email">
                            <?php echo JText::_( 'Email' ); ?>
                        </label>
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <input class="inputbox" type="text" name="email" id="email" size="40" value="<?php echo $this->user->get('email'); ?>" />
                    </td>
                </tr>
Add your fields to it. DO NOT delete anythng from this file 
<tr>
                        <td class="key">
                            <label for="business">
                                <?php echo JText::_( 'Business' ); ?>
                            </label>
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <input class="inputbox" type="text" name="business" id="business" size="40" value="<?php echo $this->user->get('business'); ?>" />
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td class="key">
                           <l;abel for="phone">
                                <?php echo JText::_( 'Phone' ); ?>
                            </label>
                        </td>
                        <td>
                            <input class="inputbox" type="text" name="phone" id="phone" size="40" value="<?php echo $this->user->get('phone'); ?>" />
                        </td>
                    </tr>
Finally you have added custom fields to the default Joomla Registration
