Hi, I'm not sure if this question has been answered already but i've been trying to search the forum and read the topics in the gen support section but to no avail. I read something about adding a custom profile field under the ACP>User>add/edit custom profile field but it didn't reflect in the registration page itself.

Could anyone help me how to make those required profile fields appear in the Registration page (not in the profile page), so users who want to register would have to answer the custom fields. :(

I've installed the latest IP in my localhost to test the features.

Thank you so much.

any advise please?

ACP => Users => Add Custom Profile Fields

On bottom you should have this option:

Quote:

Set as Required
If the field is set to "Required", any user that registers later must fill it in, and all existing users will have it filled with a default value.

Check it!

Thanks for the reply MG.

That's what i did when i added a custom profile field, but it still didn't show up in the registration field upon registering. I also cleared the cache, but still no luck. I tried asking someone to register and see if it shows during registration, but it didn't.

Update [Solved]
Played around with it for a bit and found the problem. the "Allow user to view" must be enabled for the custom field to appear during registration, else it won't. I didn't tick this at first since i wanted it to be required, since the description says:

Quote:

Allow Users to View
If this is set to "yes", the user is allowed to view and edit this field. If it is set to "no", only Administrators may view or edit this value. Also, if this is set to "yes", this field cannot be required.

It is a little confusing :(

Thanks for the update - Marking as solved. ;)

You are right, there was an error in the lang file... now I have fixed it.

Thanks for reporting.
