Hope you are doing fine. We want to modify the DNN’s register module. With DNN’s basic fields, we want to add few customized fields. Can you please tell me how should we do this.

We have open the DNN source code and now trying to change design of register page from Register.ascx. And also thinking to change the code from Register.ascx.vb. Is it right approach?

An immediate reply would be appreciated.

Thanking you,

Sandi

Dear Lee,

Thank you for prompt reply. I already have gone this link before. And basically we cannot afford to buy anything, but want to develop that module. So please suggest where we can get help regarding how to develop/customize Register module.

We have now found that there are two controls ( user/addresses ), which DNN is using into register module. So we are thinking to change these controls.....

Or add our new control (we have created new control but not know how to use it into existing register module..)... Please let us know which option could be better for this..

Please reply as soon as possible.

Thanking you,

Sandip

Dear Lee,

Thanks for your support…

I have completed half of the module. Now, I am able to save/update registration forms from our database. We are storing few fields (username, password and confirm password) into DNN’s database as well as our database. We are taking these information from our own controls and saving into DNN’s (User, profile etc) tables. As we have completed our own registration form; now we want to hide the DNN’s controls (User, Address) so that we can just show our controls. From registration page, when we tried to put those controls into comments, we got JavaScript errors. As some of the validetors are getting called and there is ‘undefined’ value into those validators.

We are thinking to comment that (javascript) code too… with taking care that it should called for rest modules. So are we going right…. or is there any other way to hide the DNN’s control.

Please reply as soon as possible…

Thanking you,

Dear Lee,

We have commented the code for User control from registration page. Also in User control we have remove the Requiredfieldvalidators. Still we are getting javascript error in function ValidatorOnLoad() {} and one more function. (I have pasted some funcations here from webUIvalidation.js... I copied it where I got error while debug it...)

We have removed validators from User.ascx and code from user.ascx.vb. Also Removed code from Registration page (register.ascx and register.ascx.vb) which is calling User control. And still that script is calling.  We don’t why and from where is getting called.

We just want to stop that script to be called. And I think we can’t to that as this file is having path as http://localhost/…WebUIValidation.js  . There is no such file exist when I search through my machine.

So this may be the run time generated file. Well, so we need to restrict to get calling this file.

Can  you suggest some way , how to do this.

Thanking you,

Sandi

Hi Sandip and Lee,

I also working on to change the register module. Could you help me also with the step by step and which files that you change?

Please advise...

Hi J_Singal,

For changing register module you will have to change core code. So first make sure that you have source copy of DNN.

Then do as per following.

1. Try with one single text box first. Change register control and add simple text box to it. Just to sure for GUI is working.

2. Then try to change code and insert values into your table from your text box.

3. Above both steps are for just getting confidence that things are working. Then you can start with making controls and add bellow to user control (which is in register module).

I am assuming that you have gone through the core code to understand how DNN's register module works.

Let me know if get success in first two..then we will go further..
