Brendan Pike	Wednesday 19 April 2006 7:27:19 pm I need to have certain users register with a more extensive registration fields and others simplified. Not having done this before I didn't want to re-invent the wheel. Can people tell me how they have achieved this previously? One possibility I considered was either sending users to a virtual forwarded URL like /group_one/register (forwarded to /user/register) or setting a view_parameter and then only show certain user datatypes accordingly. However I found it is not currently not possible to detect the URL or read/set view_parameters from user/register.tpl. Love to hear others thoughts on this. www.dbinformatics.com.au We are always interested in hearing from experienced eZ PHP programmers and eZ template designers interested in contract work.

Hi Brendan,

Take a look at this topic, some suggestions how to solve problem.

The bug with view_parameters in user/register.tpl is fixed now, you can take latest version from pubsvn.ez.no.
