Create a registration form with ChronoForms

zingdad613 13 Nov, 2023
Hi

I am creating a new Joomla5 website.

I want to be able to ask a number of questions of people who are newly registering on my website.

I'm not a professional web developer. I'm doing my own site. I have limited coding skills.
Is it fairly simple to have a ChronoForms form replace the default "User - Profile" plugin? If so, how?
Or if there is a better way to achieve this goal please do tell me!

Thank you!

you can create a form to save the user account, but to make joomla use this form as the default joomla registration form requires some kind of redirect, can be done by a system plugin or a redirect extension

Max, is it correct that the password is stored in plain text in the session?

all fields values are stored in the session until the form is "finished" (reaches the last page submit)

if you do not like this then I can try to add a new setting to skip a field from getting stored in the session

At the moment I'm trying to clear the session after logging in!

However, I don't feel comfortable with the password being in plain text in the session.

try to add a PHP action AFTER the "Save user" action and reset the field data in the data array:
$this->data["password_field_name"] = "";
