Oliver Frommel	Tuesday 05 August 2008 11:28:07 am Hello, for a new site we need to establish a relatively complex registration process including: payment details, checking against a database and so on. How can we do this, where do we start? Thanks Oliver
Piotrek Karaś	Tuesday 05 August 2008 11:54:58 am Hi, If you want to have that in all in registration, then probably you will have to create some custom datatypes that would handle different checks, validations etc. I find the datatype one of the most flexible interfaces between eZ and "custom/outside world". For one of our projects where we have online payments, we separated user registration (it's a bit community site) and payment account registration. It is impossible then to take certain actions (again, with a use of almost-empty validation-purpose datatype) if you do not have valid payment account, which is not required for access, though. Please share if you can the final outcome of this project.

Hello,

for a new site we need to establish a relatively complex registration process including:
payment details, checking against a database and so on. How can we do this, where do we start?

Thanks
