adding additional info to the database

Hello,

Is there a way to add additional information to the database when a user registers?

I have group ids separated into Skilled, Non skilled and Professional and this is what i would like to add to the users database row. (for future reference ie. send emails to just the professionals)

Thanks in advance

Hi Marcus

If I understand your requirement correctly, you can use custom fields feature to handle this requirement. Basically, you can create any custom fields to collect any information you want from your subscribers. See membershipprodoc.joomservices.com/basic-setup/custom-fields

Thanks Tuan

This does work but would have to rely on the user to select weather they are professional, Skilled or non-skilled (i cant rely on users to make their own selection) do you know of a way that will not allow the user interaction, ie from the profession selection box?

Example:
The user is a plumber, on the registration page the user selects plumber as their profession (all good)
The plumber profession is linked to a user access level giving them access to our deals that are specifically for plumbers. (all good)
The plumber access level is attached to the plumber user group. (all good)

The plumber user group is a child of Skilled
A Doctor user group is a child of Professional
The Bar staff user group is a child of Non-Skilled
and so on

Hi Marcus

I don't understand your requirement. If you don't allow users to select, how will it works? Could you send me the link to subscription form and explain how it should work? It might help me understand your requirement easier

Marcus, could you just use the existing data you collect to decide the output when you want to use it.

eg IF Doctor THEN Professional
