Add custom fields to Children registration

Hi, I was trying to understand how to add custom fields to the children registration.
If I understood it is an extension of Jview so I just would need to add the fields I need in my database _users table, then the fields in the form in com_joomdle/views/register and what I don't understand is where to add the variables to tell the form about the database

Thanks for replies

For the ones who need this, I almost got to the solution:

1) edit \joomla\components\com_joomdle\views\register\tmpl\default.php inserting the fields you need ,for example

2) add the fields in the database in ****_users table with phpmyadmin obviously same name (example "codfiscale")

3) edit \joomla\libraries\joomla\database\table\user.php adding this string "var $codfiscale = null;" under
"class JTableUser extends JTable
{"
for each field you created.


Now you capture addictional datas and get stored in the database but I still have to map those to moodle

It doesn't look that simple acutally to map those fields, anyone know where does Joomdle query the db to get the fields from Joomla registration? Someone able with sql can help?

Hi Paolo.

I guess you are working on J2.5, right? Maybe it is easier to use the user_profiles table, instead of hacking the users table. This way you don't need to alter Joomla DB schema.

Also, it should be easier, as Joomdle can already handle that kind of mappings.

In fact, I think the way to go would be to re-create register view in Joomdle, based on the new J2.5 view, so that it works with the profile plugins.

Thank you for the advice, I'm going to try this way right now, but I'm starting to think it will be harder then I thought!
