As I said in an earlier message, modifying the core code isn't a great idea. Modifying the data tables is an even worse idea.

hi craig,

          Thanks for your fast response, i got what you are trying to tell. But i did not change the database but rather i created a table and inserting data into it using the adduser stored procedure, let me know whether  am i going in a right way or  not? but i dont have any other option rather than developing the code, our company does not show any interest in buying the third party tools. Provide any other solution craig.

Thanks ,

I'm sorry. You said that you added a column to the table. I guess I misunderstood what you were saying.

If you just used the existing stored procedure, it might be that you missed some other step. You might want to look at the code for the standard "Membership Provider" so that you can see how DotNetNuke adds users.

HI craig,
             feeling very happy in getting responses from you. I got succeeded in adding a table and inserting data to it. When i try to add an additional control to the register page in lib/components/users/userinfo.vb, the userid is going to set -1. when i remove this control, it is taking the userid as is from the database.But when i add control property, i am gettin an error as ""FK_UserProfile_Users". The conflict occurred in database "Dnn", table "dbo.Users", column 'UserID'.
The statement has been terminated.". if i try to add an extra control, shall i need to make any changes(not major) to the code to any where else? plz let me know. its very urgent. I am on deadline. i need to finish it asap.

Help needed.

Nandu,

I don't know what you are doing wrong, but you are doing something wrong with the existing tables.

hi craig,
Thanks for your suggestion. I dont think so that i am going in a wrong way. i got succeeded in adding additional fields to the register page and able to save the data in database too. here i am using the adduser store procedure to pass these additional fields data to the database, i have created a new table with user_id in it.I hope , i am going in a right way. But now the problem is , my register page consists of 3 pages, and i need to display only some fields in register page1 and some other in page2 so on. I had added an attribute(pageid) in the propertyattributes. but not finding a way to check that page id. please suggest me where i can check for this page id.

Help needed.

Hi Nandu / Craig, Can you please tell me how you added the extra field in User Registration, because I am also facing the same problem and my company also not ready to pay for third party tool. I am new to DNN. Please help me!

On the User Accounts page, click Manage Profile Properties. Then, use the dropdown menu to Add New Profile Property.

 Hi to all Great Gun (DNN),

I am strater and just moved to dnn.

First thing i want to know how to start with dotnetnuke source code because i need to modify register page with providing all role into that section so that user can select available role at the time of signup.

When i downloaded the source code and Start in .net 2005 , got massive error around(79+).


So, plz guide me who to do that. Provide brief as long as you can becuse i m knew to dnn.



Thank you,

Ajit

I would strongly recommend that you should not modify the source code to provide that functionality. If you do, you will be following a path that makes it very difficult to update.

Instead, I'd recommend a module like Datasprings' Dynamic Registration. It will provide the functionality that you need.

If, though, you intend to go the modification route, I'd recommend that you try doing this as an additional module, so that you can upgrade and will then only have to deal with your module if necessary. As for help with the source code, I'd recommend that you look for help at the adefwebserver.com site. But ... do this as a module, NOT as a core modification.

I am using latest DNN installation and I can not find Register.ascx file anywhere in my DNN Visual Studio project. Where is it?

Desktop Modules/Admin/Authentication/login.ascx and login.ascx.vb include the registration code.  These are actually separate from the Authentication provider.  You do not have to rewrite this to create a new authentication provider.

Respected Sir,

i am new in DNN Development , We are using DNN 5.5.1 for development , we want to change in dnn Core Register module add some extra field in that module ,but we cant understood the flow of the DNN System where to add these filed and exact location of the stored procedure is getting called to add new user in the users Table of the DNN 5.5.1,
so plz help us .

Respected sir ,

I want to know the any books aviable for DNN Core Module Development or DNN CORE SYSTEM How the DNN Framwork is working , plz help us .

When you say that you want to add an extra field in the Register Module, exactly what do you want to add.  The registration module can be customized.  See:

• DotNetNuke Users & Setting the Registration Options
• Specifying The Required Fields Upon User Registration
• Security Roles new features
• User Accounts new features
• User Accounts and User Settings
• Enforcing Terms and Conditions on User Registration
• How to Manage Profile Properties in User accounts (Creating a custom registration page)
• DotNetNuke User Profile Features v5.4

It is usually not a good idea to modify the DotNetNuke core.  It is better to add your own custom modules and providers.

It is also a good idea to use available third party modules. For Registration, I recommend the Dynamic Registration and Dynamic Login modules from DataSprings.com.

For books, the DotNetNuke Professional 4 and DotNetNuke Professional 5 books are quite good.  For module development, the book by Mitchel Sellers is good.  There is also a book by Michael Washington that has received good reviews.

Respected Sir,
