Hi this is a new issue and I can’t figure out what is going on.
I have set up a way of registering users using ajax posts. There are a number of hidden inputs also which contain the values for custom member fields. When posted these are all sent together and the new user is successfully registered. However for some reason, the custom member fields have stopped being processed over the past few days.

I have changed nothing in relation to the mechanism used for registering users.
It is probably important to mention also that I am using my own extension which just checks the incoming registration data and if one of the custom member fields is equal to a certain string, it calls a separate function.

Through printing out the $_REQUEST header I know that the custom member fields are still being sent, but they are just not being processed and inserted into exp_member_data anymore.

Has anyone got any ideas? This is an urgent issue as the site is live, so any input would be great.

Thanks.

I’ve found a hack-job workaround for this issue at the moment but don’t want it to be a permanent solution.

What I have done at the moment is just set up an UPDATE query in my custom extension file. The hook the extension is using is the member_member_register so a new row has been created in exp_member_data by the time the extension is called and therefore the UPDATE will work fine in this instance.

Like I said though, if anyone can offer any reason why the exp_member_data table is not being updated with the correct values in the first place it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi tricycleinteractive,

I’m afraid we can’t support custom extensions or mods to the member registration code. Are you making progress with this? I can move this over to Community Help if you still need assistance.
