1: expanding OpenACS registration
Posted by Matthew Taylor on 09/23/04 09:05 AM
Hello,
I'm trying to use OpenACS for registering users for a university club with more details than simply name, email, url etc...
I want to add extra university related fields like degree, major, phone number, year etc...
Is there a package I can use, or how do I alter the current registration process to allow extra fields??

You might use survey package for the process or simply add a form/table for that, certainly you need custom code now. A way to deal with this in oacs is being designed and will take a couple of months to get that ready.

But we should note that you shouldn't use contacts now -- it is being rewritten, and will be released in a couple of weeks.
