Hi,

I need to customise user registration a bit more than what is available, but I cannot find a module or setting to allow me to do this - can anyone help? I'm using Drupal 6.

There are 2 things I would like to do :

The first is to have 2 separate sign-up screens - one for regular users, the other for contributing users. The forms would have slightly different fields, and anyone using the 'contributing user' sign up form would automatically have the 'contributor' role assigned to them and would their account would require admin approval.

The second is to have a minimal sign up form - just asking for username, email and password - that will allow the user to add extra details (full name, location etc) when editing their account later.

If it is the case that modules to do these actions don't exist, I will have to look into creating them. If anyone has anything like this in development please let me know as I will be glad to help out with it. I've not actually developed a module yet but maybe this would be a good introduction.

Thanks.

Hey there - we're investigating the same issue - the main module that did this seems to be for 5 only. We haven't tried it yet but found this module: http://drupal.org/project/profile_role. It sounds correct but we don't know yet. Good luck, post back your results!

Recently I did a similar project and did the following

  • Used the http://drupal.org/project/autoassignrole module to let the user select their role.
  • Then using the work-flow module, I redirected the users from the registration form to different pages according to their role.

Also, http://drupal.org/project/nf_registration_mod is a fantastic idea of a module, but is only for 5x and definitely not suitable for new users.
