Modifying Registration Page? How?

Let's say, you have a web-site, you created and build a long-time ago. And now, you want to add extra fields to the registration page, not manually, from admin center. Let's say, your registration page looks very simple which include only Name, email, and country. But, I would like to add extra fields, like Skype or ICQ fields from my admin center. Moreover, if a new user registeres, he had to enter those new fields, so how can I accomplish this?

I didn't understand what do you mean by "not manually". It is fairly simple if you want to add manually. You need to edit the following. Only adding the fields is easy, if you want to change the entire website to handle these new entries, then you should edit your entire website.

 

1. Add your new fields to the particular table in your database server.

 

2. Next edit your html page and add the new fields. I hope you know how to add form elements to your page.

 

3. Edit Server side page that handles this registration page. Add new coding to handle these new elements. (handling means, processing the code and passing it to your database server etc..)

 

If you want to do all this by just clicking buttons (I think, this is what you meant by not manually) go for a CMS. Or you should build your website in such a way that you could create new fields by just clicking buttons, But I think building a website like this is just like building a new CMS.

 

Anyway, if this is not what you wanted, please post your question clearly...

Provide more information so we can help you. Which cms are you using?

 

Its very easy to add fields that a user can fill upon registering, just be specific and someone will give you a specific sequence of things to change/add.

 

cheers

assuming that you made the website from scratch:

Normally you would want to change the HTML code and the database server queries/tables.

Besides that, you will want to add functionality to all these new fields you created. Eg. adding an ICQ/ Skype button/line to let users talk to each other on the respective platforms. CMSes (and the Xisto forum) can give you a pretty good idea of what I mean.
