I am new to ChronoForms so I don't really have a grasp on its full capabilities. However I liek to implement a different kind of login for my Joomla site that is using Community Builder. I thought ChronoForms was a good choice becuase it has multiple step registration process which I need. It also is compatible with Community Builder.
So what I want to do is have three steps to my registration. A little background about my site is it's a fansite for a popular online game. I want the first part of the registration to ask for a their username and that's all. Here is the catch I want them to use the same username they use for the online game. The reason I am asking is some of my site features will display their game avatar and such and for comments.
In order for me to make sure they are using their real online game username I want to validate. Is there anyway to display a 5 digit number that they need to type in on their external online gaming profile which will be automatically searched out by a script to confirm if the number is on their profile. If the number is matching they can move to next step.
The next step after they validate same username I want them to enter their email and password. But have a disclaimer saying not to use the same password for their online game...just for precautions.
I have searched the internet I know there is a ways of doing it. One example of exactly what I need is on http://habbox.com/#!/Register
If anyone can help me or point me in the right direction I will be grateful.
Thanks!

Hi chetjd,
I think that all of what you describe here can be done in ChronoForms . . . but it's not a simple form and will take soming and Joomla!/PHP/CB knowledge to get it working.
The best way to approach these is to map out the flow of the interaction i.e. the sequence of forms, checks and saves and make a note of the key data at each stage. Then work through the sequence one step at a time using the simplest possible forms to get the flow working. That is test with a form with two inputs rather than one with fifty. Lastly go back and rebuild with the full set of inputs knowing that you have the logic working.
