[2.0.x] Custom registration

My b2evolution Version: 2.0.x

I am new about b2evolution, when the first time I installed it in my server I use 2.0.2. Is there anyone could help me to customize the way people who want to register in my blog by adding 1 more parameter. I intended to make my blog specialized discussing only about photography, so I add 1 more column in users table named camera. and I try to change the htrsv/register.php to add this 1 more parameter, but I screwed it up. Anyone could help me?

it might be easier to edit one of the fields like ICQ or AIM name or something. One that not many people ever fill in. That would be a lot more simple than playing with tables.

Hi Rudyanto,

What you want can be done, but don'y do it the way you proposed.
You want a plugin to be developed that adds a database column 'somewhere'. There is no need to attachh the column tot the member table. Simply a relation between the member ID and the camera will do. Then you need to decide what you want to do with the information. Display I presume, but where and when?

A plugin has the main advantage that it is extendible and can keep working when the database is upgraded. Did I mention upgrading? The 2.0 version you use is highly not recommended. Please upgrade to the latest 2.4 version and keep upgrading for as long as it says "this is a stable release".

If you have a more worked out idea of your plans, let us know and we can help you develop the plugin you' re after.

Good luck
