Store additional User information requested in signup?

Hi,
is it possible to store additional user information that has some constrains in the normal jommdle/joomla user profile or do i have to add something like communitybuilder?

To be a mit more precise: I have several users that study in different facultys. Depending on the faculty they choose in the registration process they get different course numbers and so on. I did this within my old site with RSformpro and everything worked well but with joomdle/moodle i´m not sure how to get the registration process for teh site done as it sounds like i can not use the rsformpro registration plugin anymore?

thanks for your help in advance

Hi.

I am sorry, but I don't fully understand your question.
What does the rsformpro registration plugin do? And how did you previosly integrate it with Moodle?

If you just want to use rsformpro registration, I think you could do it, although Joomdle has no integration for it, so special fields won't be passed to Moodle.

Hi again,
it is just a versatile form component that has ist own login /registration module/plugin. I did not integrate it with moodle as i did not use moodle before but i ask myself how it might be possible to have a complex form for the registration process that collects all data i need. With the moodle fields and no constrain plugin this will not work i think. So i searched for a solution and thought that moodle might help out as it seems to be able to map data fields. So my idea was to use rsformpro to collect the data and moodle to map that collected data from the rsformpro form. But as you said there is no integration this will not work i think
Is there any other way to collect a complex user profile or any other form component that works well with moodle that is able to do constrains for fields ?
Thanks
cheers

You state "So i searched for a solution and thought that moodle might help out as it seems to be able to map data fields. So my idea was to use rsformpro to collect the data and moodle to map that collected data from the rsformpro form. "

I assume that in both cases above you mean Joomdle and not Moodle. I assume you with to use Moodle to deliver courses not map and collect data??

With my assumption, there are plenty of ways to collect additional data in Joomla and then have Joomdle map (and synchronize) that with Moodle:
- EasySocial, JomSocial and Community Building (complete social tools that collect additional data upon registration however these have a lot of features that you may not need)
- EasyProfile (a user profile extension which just adds and manages additional fields)
- Joomla core (with Joomla you can enable the additional fields plugin and define what fields you want the user to complete during registration)

Each of the above 5 ways will work with Joomdle, mapping the data to Moodle. This will allow you to hide the Moodle login form and not require the user to enter all the user details again.

As for RSForms, I use it for many custom forms and it would be possible however a custom plugin would need to be development. RSForm would collect the data and pass it to a new Joomdle plugin which would need to be built specifically for RSForm. To develop such a plug-in would be chargeable work.

Hi chris,
thanks for your help. i already thought that the social plugins would be a solution but hped to come around to spend more money on plans to get my site to go. I think i´ll try the way you mentioned and use the additional fields plugin wich i was not aware of. Perhaps this might work with a rsformpro constrained form. I´ll play with it
SO thanks again for your help!
