I need to add an extra field to the registration form, a "confirm email address" field, that allows the user to type in their email address again. I only need this field on the registration form. If I add a field using administer » settings » profiles this will add the extra field to the stored users profile, resulting in the email address being stored twice.
How do I add a "confirm email address" field so that it is just on the registration form, but is not stored in the database duplicating the first email address field?
Thanks

That works great thanks.
That works great thanks. But, the thing I'm making for kids requires them to enter their parents email address also, and have that parent email address field also be repeated ("confirm parent/guardian email").
The LoginToboggan module doesn't seem to have a way to do that. Anyone know how I can add extra fields to the registration process?
Thanks......
Create a new profile field
admin/settings/profile
Add a textarea/email/textfiled - anything you wish to collect from user
Label it as `Your parents email'
And I would make the new field `private, only accessible by admin'
But for the details of the workflow, somebody with PHP programming would know how to modify user registration process and existing logintoboggan.module

Sigh.......I guess you didn't read my post. I know fields can be added at settings/profile. But I don't need this extra field to be stored in the profile. I just need it to be visible in the registration form.
1. Enter email address
2. Confirm email address
The 2nd email field is just for making sure the user has typed their email address correctly, and that both the fields match.
Know how to do that?
Drupal is headbangingly frustrating. Just something as simple as adding this extra registration field takes untold time to work out.
"Sigh.......I guess you
"Sigh.......I guess you didn't read my post" - thats the kind of reply that would make YOU a PRICK in this forum you know
Why users like us ever bother to help at all if thats the kind of groaning of instead of at least a reply that sounds like `thanks, you might not really understand what problem I am having, but thanks for TRYING TO HELP' with a smile icon like :)
"Drupal is headbangingly frustrating" - wait until you used something else like Mambo or Joomla - and you will know that what you are trying to achieve with the profile is not possible at all - or you have to PAY FOR MODULES or professional consultancy
Why are you asking for a
Why are you asking for a parents email address (twice) if it is not being stored anywhere? What's the point?
