I’ve setup Custom Member Fields, ie: Country and Company, however when the user registers, the data doesn’t get applied to the user.  I have it int he forum, (I even have hooks in there that email the input data) however it seems to not enter data.

Field Name: company
Field Label: Company
Is field visible in registration page?  YES

In my registration:  <input type=“text” name=“company” value=”” maxlength=“120” class=“input” size=“40” style=“width:300px” />

So I’m not sure whats going wrong.  Any hints?

Welcome to the ExpressionEngine forums, brink.

Are you using the registration form that comes with EE, or are you rolling your own? I suspect the latter.

The name= field is off.

Here’s an example taken from one of my sites using the default registration form:

<th> Twitter</th>

<td><input type="text" name="m_field_id_1" value="" class="input" maxlength="100" size="40" style="width:100%;" /></td>

Notice that name is m_field_id_1? That’s because the table where those additional member fields reside are in the exp_member_fields database.

See the attached screen shot.
I suggest you view the source of the built in member registration form and make modifications to match your design if you’re hard coding it.

Does that help?

Thank you for your response.  I can only find how to “roll your own registration form” in the docs, I cant find where to embed one anywhere.

One would think that “field name” would represent what you want the field to be named, however…

I got the fiend ID’s from the database, it appears to be working now, thanks.

Glad that worked for you.. If anything else comes up, please do let us know in a new thread..
