Changing Create Account Form

[Steven300]

I don't think you're in the wrong forum, but rather it's such a complicated task you're undertaking that many people here aren't able to help. You found the right file to add extra fields to and you're correct that the database needs touching. The Wiki is always useful when trying to understand the database. You might also take a look at includes/modules/create_account.php, as well as the files in includes/modules/pages/create_account. You'll also need to modify some of the admin files in order to pull the data from the db and display it. Maybe use this mod as a guide:

A far easier approach would be to collect any extra data as attributes on one of the product pages but I assume you've already considered that.

That really wouldn't accomplish what I'm trying to do. But, thanks for the thought.

I did this by creating attributes and bringing additional checkbox fields into the create_account page. They showed up fine but I did not understand how to link /write the data to the customers record. Any suggestions?

Thank you much!!!!
I'll check out the wiki and the module you recommended.
I'm sure this isn't any more complicated than other things I've done.
