adding a new field to signup form

Cowboy_X

I'd like to add a field to my sign up form, "zip code." I was hoping that hacking apart the <a href="http://lussumo.com/addons/?PostBackAction=AddOn&AddOnID=69">Extended Application Form</a> extension would help, but I didn't really get anywhere. Any suggestions or tutorials? Are there already any extensions that add additional fields to registration?

Actually, your answer can be found here: http://lussumo.com/docs/doku.php?id=vanilla:development:customcontrols. While looking up this answer, I think I found the answer to one of mine as well: how to add to the control panel options. I think it's going to take me a while to wrap my brain around this one...

I could have sworn I posted a link to the Extended Application Form here, but my comment seems to have disappeared... would that not do the trick?

I appear to be stuck in a time loop, time loop. Sorry

I found that since the name fields are already in the Vanilla core, you need to attach to a different delegate to save the custom information than the extended application form does.

PostRoleAssignment is what you should use, espically if you need to insert into a separate table and thus need the UserID of the new user. Its on line 250 of library\People\People.Class.UserManager.php. The delegate parameters you can use are a few paragraphs up (the same ones as PreDataInsert uses)
