Joomla Registration

hi guyz

im totally lost in v4 as there is no tutorial for this so please help with this

ive created a form which i can see and in events ive added

onload:
show HTML
Registration (joomla user)

but even then it does not register users if i see in joomla user panel!
also which DB should the info be saved to?

ive no idea where to start even if im wrong!!!!

a complete guide would be great!

thanks in advance

Hi usmansid,

a complete guide would be great!

I agree

Just to check - you have the Registration action in the OnSubmit event?

And you have the fields configued in the Registration action?

Then the User data will be added automatically to the jos_users table. If there is other data you need to save then that should be in another table.

Bob

yes joomla registration is set on onload as well
as far as i could configure i did but my main purpose of using choronoforms was to build a custom registration page with the fields i required!

i was able to do that but then again to same question where would it save the data from those custom fields and wherever it saves them how will it automatically register users which its not doing

Hi usmansid,

yes joomla registration is set on onload as well

This probably won't do any harm but I don't think it will do anything useful either.

Please post a screenshot of the OnSubmit configuration pages for the Registration action.

The plug-in will save the basic user data in the jos_users table. You will need to set up a DB Save for any other data into a table that you create.

Bob

sorry got really busy

here is the pic

Hi usmansid ,

The Joomla! Registration action needs to be in the On Submit event (not the On Load event).

See if that works better, if not please post a screen shot of the configuration options for the action.

Bob

i did set it as an onload event. refer the picture!

Hi usmansid,

Ooops, sorry. My post got it backwards. It needs to be in OnSubmit, that's when the registration takes place.

Bob

ive put it on the onsubmit and still no use!

suppose if your were to make a custom registration form like me that would automatically register users how would you do it?

maybe if i mimic your steps i can find some mistakes i made

Hi usmansid,

Just add the Registration action in the onSubmit and configure it then submit your form once, do you get any errors ? you may also post a screenshot for your Joomla registration action settings box

Max

My settings for the form is as follows
also ive put elemets other than that of registrations as such in joomla registration. you can see it in the 3 pics attached

onload:
show HTML

onsubmit:
Registration (joomla user)
DB Save
Thanks Message


thanks for all help! 🙂

Hi usmansid,

All looks fine to me, what errors are you getting with this configuration set ?

Regards,
Max

well no errors but the data is only being saved to the DB Ive designated, not the Jos_users table and the users are not automatically being registered to joomla as that's by whole purpose!

Strange, please drag an "Event Loop" action inside the "On Fail" event of the "Joomla registration" and set the "Target Event" to "On Load", that should reload the form when error occurs and let us know why it failed.

Regards,
Max

thanx

ive no idea why but after that it started working fine!

thanks a lot

hi again!

i made some changes which i reverted but it keeps giving me this error even though i input something in the field:

1. Please enter your name:

Your fields names may not be mapped correctly, check the name of your "name" field and check what you have for the "name" field under the "Joomla registration" plugin settings, those fields names should match

Regards,
Max

yes ive checked it but same error!

Hi,

please attach a form backup file here then, you can PM it if it has any private info.

Regards,
Max

I’ve placed a registration action in the "on submit" event.
Is for a "random password" a password field (hidden?) required?
If use the settings as the attachment (I want the email as username) I get a "You must provide your password" error on submit.

i have find this solution:

The fields that correspond to the name, username and email on the form must have the same name as the users table.
So: name, username, email

Hi, yes, I have fixed these issues in RC1.9

Thanks Max,
V4 RC 1.9 works fine.
