Hello,

At our DNN site, we allow users to establish a service by themselves. This process will lead users go through a few pages to collect their information and the last step is linked to DNN's Register page so that our users can log into our site immediately after the registration. What we would like is that we prefill some of the fields in the Register page because those information are already collected in the process and we don't want users to refill those fields.

How do we prefill the fields in the Register page using the data we already collected?

Many thanks in advance,

You might want to take a look at DataSprings' Dynamic Registration module. I'm just beginning to work with it, but it seems to be quite an impressive product.

Hi jncraig,

Thanks a lot for your suggestion! But we'd like to develop our own register module.

Do you know which tables and fields are mandatory to be populated when register a new user?

I appreciate your time very much!

Follow the code in the existing Registration module to see how it's done there.

Thanks jncraig! Which files are for the existing Registration module?

Start by looking at login.ascx in the admin/authentication directory.

But ... I'll reiterate my earlier suggestion that you use something like DynamicRegistration. You'll save time, probably save money, you'll end up with a better product, and it will be upgradable.

Don't overlook upgradability. I'm working on several sites now that have not been upgraded for several years. Their owner are paying a price for that. If you are seriously running a website, you've got to make plans to upgrade. I would say that once a years is the minimum, and I might recommend a twice a year cycle.

Thanks a lot jncraig!
