Member section - Add fields into create member template?
HI There,
I was wondering what approach I should take in modifying the create members template to included additional fields? Is this easy to do? What assets do I need to modify inside the admin section to acheive this ?
When you're reffering to "member template" do you then think about the setup of members in the member section or a specific member template to display information about members?
Members works like document types so you need to create a member group and then create a member type. On the member type you can add tabs and properties like in a document type and you can access/modify/write these values using the API as well.
It can be done, but will require some coding... already thinking of:
- to change the tree implementation and replace the default 'create' action with your own: either build your own tree to replace the existing one (will also require some db changes for the tree loading), or use event handlers to hook up with the AfterNodeRender event to replace the default create action.
- build your own popup dialog for member creation, called from your custom create action.
this should give you a start, there's probably more, but nothing I can think of right now.

Hi all, thanks for the answers. Jan, just to clarify. I'm able to add fields for the user to fill in? Sean
