custom user registration fields, help?

  • hi all,

    i’ve been looking at ways to customize the user-registration process. I want more fields e.g. age, music preferences etc, using radio buttons as well as drop-down menus.

    I think similar questions have been asked before. I searched on these forums and found lots of related chatter but nothing concrete…

    EXCEPT this: https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/3123

    Somebody looking for the same things as me claimed the above trac solved his problem. MY problem is I’m too dumb to make sense of what that trac ticket thing is…:(

    Can someone please help?

    Thanks for that, but I haven’t really gotten anywhere.
    The userextra plugin doesn’t do the business – I want to add fields to the registration.

    I think it should be quite simple – anyone? Should I hack wp_login, e.g. add something like

    <label><?php _e(‘Music Preference:’) ?>
    <input type=”text” name=”user_music” id=”user_music” class=”input” value=”<?php echo attribute_escape(stripslashes($user_login)); ?>” size=”20″ tabindex=”10″ /></label>
    </p>

    How can I get drop-downs, checkboxes etc?

    And how can I get these added details to come up on the “users” tab?

    }
    }
