I need some help in extending the user class. I am extending the user class to add the address in the user registration form. I added Address as a text field. It shows up ok on the form and stores the data as well. But it doesn't add those fields to the emails. I want to include the user name and the address in the feedback and confirmation emails.
Need some guidance.
I am on eZ3.3 TIA, Vivek

Hi Vivek, For this purpose, you need to make an override of the user/registrationinfo.tpl template where you include the address info. Sincerely, Eirik Johansen

Hi Eirik,
Thanks for your reply. I understand that I need to override the registrationinfo.tpl and registrationfeedback.tpl files. But the question is how do I call the address value in these templates.
The login is called by user.login and email by user.email. I have dumped all the attributes and thier values for user variable. The address attribute is not present in the user variable. I am guessing the address is being stored in $contentobject_attribute array in the user variable.
How do I get the value in the template files.
Thanks again
Vivek

Would this tutorial be of use? http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/incoming/tutorial_using_userregister It was written a while ago but it still works fine for 3.3 :) paul

I read this tutorial but didn't find it of much help. register.tpl doesn't need to be overridden since the new fields show up fine without overriding the templates. I didn't understand the ezurl.tpl modifications in the tutorials. Vivek

I didn't have to override register.tpl as mentioned in the tutorial. I did override the registrationfeedback.tpl which sends out the email.
I called the newly added fields in the user class as:
Address:{attribute_view_gui attribute=$user.contentobject.data_map.address}. Hope this helps. Now the question is, I am adding forum on my site and users need to register for that. Can I have different signup form/user class for that? Vivek
