CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I have added a couple of extra fields to the Drupal registration form. Specifically, I use the Terms of Use module to require user acceptance as well as the standard Drupal CAPTCHA module to protect the registration form.

New Drupal registrations from CiviMember (and CiviContribute) fail if registration is required becuase it know nothing about these fields when it tries to create the Drupal user. The user is kicked back to the home page with an error message at the top similar to this:

    * I agree with these terms. * field is required.
    * What code is in the image? field is required.

How can I work around this? I really don't want to disable either of those modules as they provide protection from SPAM and also some legal liability for users who do not wish to become official members using CiviMember. (We are a political party website.)

I could always require user registration first before allowing membership application, but I really want a seamless process if possible.

Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm sure I'm not alone.

Yes, because we allow people to register for a website account so they can post in our forum and comment on articles WITHOUT officially joining us. The only reason we require website registration for posting/commenting is to prevent spam. We want the maximum interaction possible.
