Presales Questions about Custom Fields in AJAX Register

Hello,

I´m interested in AJAX Register, and would like to ask a couple of questions:

- When Custom Fields are added in the registration form, is the user able to edit them in the future via an 'Edit User Profile' link? (once they are registered).

- Likewise, are the Custom Fields available to Admins if they manually edit a user in the Backend?

- Are the Custom Fields added to the User object so they could be accessed inside a PHP script using something similar to this:

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Roger.

Hello,

Thanks for your interest in AJAX Register.

- When Custom Fields are added in the registration form, is the user able to edit them in the future via an 'Edit User Profile' link? (once they are registered).

Yes! It is visible from last 2 images on screenshots page .

- Likewise, are the Custom Fields available to Admins if they manually edit a user in the Backend?

Yes! It is also visible from image nr. 6 on screenshots page .

- Are the Custom Fields added to the User object so they could be accessed inside a PHP script using something similar to this:

$user = JFactory::getUser();
echo $user->CustomField1;

They are not. But this is actually very good idea and I will put it on my TODO list for next version.

Hello Saka,

thank you very much.

In fact, we are interested in adding custom fields in orther to segment our users, but without them knowing it (we will create each user account manually, it´s a kind of restricted site).

Would it be possible to have Custom Fields that only the Admin could 'see', so they wouldn´t be showed if the user edit it´s own details?

If the option of easily accesing Custom Fields via PHP is added, this is going to be a killer extension, as it will allow for a lot of cool things! Is there any estimated time of release for the nest version?

Thanks!
Roger.

I can take a look on that for next version too. Currently it's possible to have extra fields on registration and/or user profile (including admin). It's probably possible to have admin only fields too (non-required).

Should be out in the beginning of next month.

Hi,

The new version is out and the extra fields are now attached to the user object so they can be accessed via:
Also added an option to display extra fields to admin only.

Hi,

The new version is out and the extra fields are now attached to the user object so they can be accessed via:

$user = JFactory::getUser();
print_r($user->extra);

How should I exactly use this code to get acces to one extra field?
Should I replace 'extra' with the field name?

Like ($user->postalcode) or something?
