Perch Members Registration form
Hi, in the documentation it states "It can collect any information you need by adding inputs to the registration form template – all we require is an email address and password." however when i've added lots of custom data collection fields in the sign up form, the data doesn't appear to be collected anywhere? Can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?
Example of the form code :
<perch:form id="register" method="post" app="perch_members" type="default">

Gareth, Is that all of your code? There seems to be some code missing at the bottom like...
Gareth if you add the additional fields in, say , your profile.html file.
When you load your profile page eg, /path/to/members/profile.php
You will see the additional information.

You can display the extra fields with
Sorry to drag up old problems, but I too am completely unable to add additional fields using this technique.
I get no errors, but the fields are in no way made. I've looked through the database as well, and nothing.
Are there ANY other settings required than that mentioned above?
No worries, I managed to stumble across the answer.
It simply needed adding to member.html
Thanks
The comments above are not mine?
Angie, glad you got it sorted.
