Lee,

I just completed your 6-video tutorial on customizing the User Registration after two failed attempt and two database restorations caused when I deleted a few of the default profile elements. 

The tutorial was well done and captured the essential requirements of the task for a DNN newbie. 

Thanks for an excellent resource.  I have referred your tutorials to the support team at my DNN hosting provider.  I am not the first person to ask to have my database restored (multiple times) after a DNN meltdown caused by attempts to customize the registration process.

Hi Rick,

Glad to hear the tutorial was useful. - Yes I too had the same problems of corrupting my DNN installation by deleting the default profile elements which is why I took the time to work out and demonstrate a workaround to it. - Can you imagine losing your entire site from just changing the registration settings?!

If you have any requests for tutorials, then let me know in the forum,

Cheers,

Lee

Lee,

I made the changes to the registration form and the new fields and the label text appear properly, however, my help text was not updated to reflect the text entered in the data section. Instead the field name appears when help is activated. I have verified the settings, but nothing stands out as a problem. Is there a step I am missing?

Hello,

You will need to double check the code in the profile.ascx file at: \admin\Users\App_LocalResources\Profile.ascx.resx.

Make sure it follows this format:

<data name="ProfileProperties_AcceptTerms.Text">
    <value>You must accept the Terms</value>
</data>
<data name="ProfileProperties_AcceptTerms.Required">
    <value>You must accept the Terms</value>
</data>
<data name="ProfileProperties_AcceptTerms.Validation">
    <value>You must accept the Terms</value>
</data>
<data name="ProfileProperties_AcceptTerms.Help">
    <value>You must check the checkbox in order to accept the Terms of this site</value>
</data>

Re-watch one of the videos that edits the profile.ascx file, such as video 4 to double check.

Hope this helps, thanks,

Lee,

As a followup to the tutorial segments on Customizing the Registration, please consider adding a unit to address updating the DNN mail notifications with the added profile attributes.  I  am looking for information related to updating the administrator notification email and I am having difficulty finding a source.  Do you have anything already on the site addressing this topic?

Hi Rick,

Yes this is a good one, I have not come across any information on this. I've had a brief look but not found a solution to it yet.

I'm currently doing the videos for issue 14 so it will have to go in issue 15 (November 1st) if I can find a solution to it.

If you have time could you ask in the main DNN forum and see if anyone has any ideas? If you come across any options could you let me know and I will put it together into a tutorial for everyone.

Thanks,

Hi Lee,

I will ask the question in the main DNN forum. Thanks for considering it as a topic. I look forward to seeing issue 15 if we can get some background on the topic.

That's great thanks, any further requests for tutorials are more than welcome!

Cheers,

Lee,
