If I create a registration form will it show up as a "new user" in my Joomla admin?

Hi I would like to know If I create a registration form if that will generate a "new user" under my Joomla user management,
which consequently allows users to edit their profile just like a regular user can when they register/create an acct with the Joomla 'Log in" module.

So if that's possible I guess I would use the Joomla 'login" module but the form that would be in use would be the one I create with chronoforms. I need to create 3 different forms since I will offer 3 different plans for my clients to sign-up. So that means I would use 3 different "log-in" modules using 3 of CF respectively.

Possible? How to send the data from the CF form creating a "new user".

Thank you !

Hi kd9000,

Please check the demo-joomla-registration form. If it's not in your Forms Manager please click the Demo Forms icon in the toolbar.

You probably don't need three different forms - use one form and assign the users to different user groups - you can do this after they are registered with a Custom Code action.

Great I tested and see that the info on the form created a user in Joomla. How can the users access their profile page ? In other words will it also allow them to view and change their password in the profile page?

Hi kd9000,

It's a completely standard Joomla! Registration so users can access their profiles in the normal way.

Hi Bob,
Great as of now the registration form gets filled out but what about the user profile how does the user fill that out during registration too like it is, I did here http://www.sotube.us/pro. I just added field with "Country" but it did not populate that info into the "profile"

As of now it is empty. Kindly see image.


BTW. You might ask why I don't use what I have in that link page in Joomla ...its because I was able to customize the Joomla registration but can't figure out the same for the Profile..... so ill need to do the "profile" customization hopefully in CF.

this is the joomla form I did[attachment=0]Screenshot 2015-05-22 07.29.08.png[/attachment]

Hi kd9000,

How exactly are you saving the Country data to the profile table? I think that you need to give it a Model ID in the form. That is a name like profile[country] and then use the profile as a Model ID in a db save action linked to the profile table.

Hi Bob,
Not sure I got this.... If in my CF registration form I include an address1, address2 etc will that populate, transfer into my "user profile" area? See image attached
Or do I need to have 2 separate CF forms ...one to generate an "account details and the other the "acct profile" ?

Hi kd9000,

I think that you can do it all in one form with two DB Save actions. You need to make sure that your input names match the column names that you need to save to and, I suggest, you put the profile items into a separate sub-array (see my earlier post),

Thank you Bob,
if I understood you correctly the new input text area boxes name had to match what Joomla had on their form/database already. Meaning if I wanted to customize the form with different options it would not save to my admin right?
Therefore I just went ahead and changed, customized the Joomla form directly, straight in their code.

As you see my profile page and registration page have a few different entries then the original.

Thank you for your all your responses. Very helpfull ! 😀
