Hi,
I'm trying to set up a user registration form for endorsers, contributors and volunteers. Is there a way to have the registration form add custom data fields according to which of these 3 groups a user is registering for? I know they can fill out an additional form, but I'd like to get as much of it right away during registration.
For example, I can currently have a new user sign up as a volunteer, but I'd like to have the form extend itself to include more fields about volunteer availability, etc. Likewise, those signing up as contributors could see CiviContribute fields in the same registration form.
Are either of these two possible, or is there another way to accomplish this?

Hey,

We don't have this kind of functionality at the moment. If I were to work on this kind of functionality, I would probably go with Forms API (in Drupal, don't know about Joomla) and CiviCRM API.

Thx,

In Drupal I have read about ways of having multiple registration forms for different types of people.

You can also use LoginToboggan to send people to a particular page which could include further fields. Pageroute module might also be useful.
I've not actully used any of ths yet so I'm not speaking from experience, just what I've picked up during reserach.

We are also working on a feature for 1.8 to allow "user registration" to be included in a CiviCRM profile. This work is in progress - and we may hit some roadblocks. I'm also not certain if we'll be able to implement for Joomla installs.

However, if this gets into the release, you could direct folks to three different "registration" profiles - each including the elements you want.

Our current plan is to have this working ONLY in drupal 5.1 or higher with email auth disabled. Once we have this working, we'll come out with a Joomla! version in 2.x

Speaking of this, does anyone know if Joomla! has api's to create a user that we could potentially use.

thanx

Thanks a lot for the advice, I'll be happily looking forward to 1.8.
In the meantime I'll be disabling email authentication and redirecting new users to other forms after the initial registration. Perhaps I could code up a page that will check what groups a new user has joined, and redirect them to new forms accordingly.

so CRM 1.8 seems to be out how can we deal with this responsive registration pages now any ideas?

Using 1.8 you can include a user registration option in a CiviCRM Profile form - for Drupal installs only. You can try this out on the demo site if you don't have a 1.8 install. Go to Settings for a Profile, and check "Drupal user account registration option?" under Advanced Settings.

If you need to learn about creating and using Profiles, check the online documentation:

Hi, is there a way to do this when importing new contacts into CiviCRM (ie for Drupal users to be created at the same time)?

Donald Lobo · October 17, 2007, 11:15:11 am

Currently no, and no plans to do so in the short/medium term. You might want to check the user import module to do a batch user creation
