ExtraFields for Registration Form accessible in User Manager

Hello
First of all thanks for such a great Joomla Component, and also a free one!
I wonder How I can make a registration form for Joomla with extra fields (for example zip code, how did you find about us?, etc...) and that data to be accessible in Joomle user Manager?
Should I connect to a Joomla DB and after that edit some Joomla Core files to make Joomla display that extra filed data from that form?

Thank you!

Hi ihtus,

Unless you have **very** good reasons don't hack the Joomla! core files.

You can do this by creating separate table for your extra user data and linking the two through the user ID ('cf_user_id' in a ChronoForms created table).

Then create a replacement account info form that saves the data fields partly to the com_users table and partly to your new table.

Hello Bob!
Thank you very much for your fast answer!

I would highly appreciate if you could explain how to implement what you suggested. Could you please tell me what to do step by step?

I am not so initiated in php and mysql😟

Thank you very much!!!

Hi ihtus,

Sorry, that isn't a short answer, you may need help from someone who has a bit more experience with PHP and Joomla code.

There are one or two threads here with more information on doing this if you search around.
