Please Help

I am trying to create a custom registration page, and am having difficultiies with what i consider to be one of the most basic elements of a registration page - The Date of Birth

 

Hi, We have enjoyed very much watching your training videos, which we have found very easy to understand. We have been trying to create a custom regisrtation page to include the following fields (as well as the usual): 1. Date of Birth (in a list box) - Which the users age will be calculated from this. 2. Personal Info (Using the FCKEditor - we have this installed already) - we was hoping to limit the toolbar to a basic level. Many thanks David Stacey

Hello David,

If you wish to capture a date of birth using a list box then you would probably need to create 3 list boxes:

1) The day
2) The month
3) The year

You could group the 3 boxes together under one category of date of birth. To create list boxes, follow video 6 in this tutorial:
How to Manage Profile Properties in User accounts for DotNetNuke 4.3 / 3.3

2) FCKEditor: To limit the toolbars you need to select the Show Custom Editor Options link at the bottom of the editor when logged in as admin.

You can select the toolbar view settings that you require in this page. If you make sure you select 'Apply to this instance' or 'Apply to this module'  You can select where this toolbar view will be applied to.

Thanks,

Thank you for your response

We re experiencing some unexpected problems - we are wondering if these might be due to the fact that we removed some of the default fields before seeing the video that warned us against doing so - the biography field being one!

Is there a way we can restore the defaults, or if we just add them back in will this help?

What we also notice is that logging in as "admin" we are presened with a "Update profile" screen, and a "Show Custom Editor Options" link is not available

Many Thanks
David Stacey

Hello,

1) When I was first testing, I did manage to get access to my DNN installation by re-adding the deleted registration fields. But there was a certain point where I couldn't fix the installation by adding the fields and just had to re-install DNN.

Make sure you name the fields exactly as the orignal.

2) Log in as Admin / Host then click on your username next to the LogOut link
Click on the Manage Profile Link
Under biography you will see the FCK editor and the link

Thanks,
