Registration Form Editor

This editor is used to pick the various items that will be displayed to your users when they register for an account. Each item has a “Visible?” check-box. If checked, the item will be visible on the form. If not checked, it won’t be visible on the form. Also included is a “Required?” check-box. If this is checked, it will require that the user fill in this information before they are allowed to proceed.

The registration form data is saved in this file:

EZUser_Support_Files/inc.regform.php

This file can be edited directly with a text editor but using the editor will make editing the registration form much easier.

View Submission Form (link): This will allow you to view the registration for as it is currently configured. This is handy when you make changes using the editor and want to quickly view the form to see what you have done.

Display This Text At The Top Of The Form: This text box contains the html code that will appear at the top of the registration form. You can customize this text for your use.

Email Confirmation: If this is required, the user will be prompted to enter their email address a second time to help reduce typos.

Password: If required, a password must be entered to continue the registration process. If “Required?” is un-checked, passwords will not be required or even visible on the form. Use this option if you want to use the script as a simple “opt-in” mailing list. If you do not require passwords, you will not be able to use the user management functions to restrict access to certain web pages.

First Name, Last Name, Address, City, State, Country, Phone: These fields can be enabled or disabled by checking the “Visible?” checkbox and be made required by checking the “Required?” checkbox.

Marketing Data

The registration form can collect extra marketing data. You can customize the data that you want to collect.

User Input Section: The registration form can display up to 4 text input boxes that can be used to collect marketing data or security data. The “User Input Section Title” (optional) is used as the title for the 4 input boxes. “User Input 1” is used to display the question that will prompt an answer from the user. Here is an example. Let’s say you want to ask the user for their mother’s maiden name. In the “User Checkbox Section Title” you could enter “Security Question” (optional). Then in “User Input 1” you could enter “What is your mother’s maiden name?” and then check the “Visible?” and “Required?” check boxes. This will prompt the user to enter their mother’s maiden name under a section called “Security Question” and require the user to input this info before they can continue the registration process. You could just have easily asked “What is your favorite car?” or any question you can think up.

User Checkbox Section: This section is similar to the User Input Section except it uses checkboxes instead of text input boxes. Here is an example:

In the “User Checkbox Section Title” type in “What Instruments do you play?”. In “User Checkbox 1” enter “Guitar”, In “User Checkbox 2” enter “Bass”, In “User Checkbox 3” enter “Keyboard”, In “User Checkbox 4” enter Drums”.

This will display the question “What Instruments do you play?” and allow the user to check all answers that apply to them. You can easily modify this question for you site.

User Radiobox Section: Again, this section works similar to the last to sections with one major difference. This section uses radio checkboxes allowing only one choice per question. To enable “User Radiobox1”, click the “Visible?” box and then click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the form. This will enable more options for the “radiobox1”. “User Radio1 Title” and “Radio1 Total Choices” should now be visible.

Lets set up a question that will ask which age group the user belongs. In the “User Radio1 Title”, type in this question. “What age group do you belong?”. In the “Radio1 Total Choices” enter the number “4”. Now click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the form once again. Once saved, some new options are presented under “Radio1”. In “Radio Description 1” type in “under 18 years old”. In “Radio Description 2” type in “18 – 24 years old”. In “Radio Description 3” type in “25 – 55 years old”. In “Radio Description 2” type in “55 Years old and older”. Now click the “Save Changes” once again.

You have now set up a marketing question for your users to answer optionally. (All radio box questions can NOT be made required).

Terms of Service: This option allows you to require the user to agree to a “Terms of Service”. You must specify a file that contains the terms of service so that the user may review it if they wish. The file location is relative to the script root.
