Custom fields in User accounts was created by ausryf
Is it possible to put custom fields in user accounts?

I want to put "date of birth" and "teacher's name" in the registration data so the person doesn't have to put their details in every time they register for an event.

Also, is it possible to change custom fields date arrangements? it is currently yyyy-mm-dd, but i'd like it to be dd-mm-yyyy

Thanks,

Richard

Hi

Is it possible to put custom fields in user accounts?

I want to put "date of birth" and "teacher's name" in the registration data so the person doesn't have to put their details in every time they register for an event.

First of all, "Users account" is handled by Joomla. not Event Booking extension, so Event Booking cannot change that .

If you use default Joomla user component, then It is not possible .

However, you can use Community Builder extension. It allows you to create custom fields and you can map the custom fields in registration form of Event Booking to the custom fields which you created. When users access to registration form, these data will be filled into the form automatically so that users don't have to enter it again .


Also, is it possible to change custom fields date arrangements? it is currently yyyy-mm-dd, but i'd like it to be dd-mm-yyyy


=> Right now, the date custom field type must have the format yyyy-mm-dd and you cannot change it. I will try to make the format configurable in the next version of the extension

Regards,

Tuan
