I know this is probably something very easy to do...but I am trying to figure out the best way to set up a simple User Registration page that is easily integrated into the whole site, as well as, integrated into the E-commerce module.

I've seen the Registration Module, but it's very old (not supported/not released)...and I am not sure how easy it is to integrate with the E-commerce fields when they require you to register before checking out. I've also seen the Userpage Module that seems much newer (still unsupported) and says it's a one stop shop for just about everything I need...but not sure how to integrate that into the ecommerce one.

Is there a good way to take the Registration form that's included in the Ecommerce module and create a page for it...then adding a few extra fields (Adding state and zip fields to the form)? This way they have a place to edit their account and/or profile.

Thanks for any help provided in advance!

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised as it will use something to automatically scaffold any fields that the ecommerce module decorates the member class with. If one doesn't try another one I am sure one of them will.

I've tried the Registration Module already...and although it's a good 'starting point', I am not wanting to customize this too much.

I am looking at the Userpage Module right now...seeing if there is much availability for the Ecommerce integration I need.

I was also given a link to a new module that seems to be the most updated and so far very well written. I am going to try them both tonight and see which one is best. I am really trying to not have to do this all custom code myself!

Check out the memberprofiles module by ajshort at http://github.com/ajshort/silverstripe-memberprofiles, should provide what you need.

Absolutely Marcus!

I am using it now, and adding my own fields (state and zip) with a custom decorator. This is a great module! He should offer this to be listed on the SS site!

I've downloaded and started using the memberprofiles module by ajshort. its pretty slick, but is there a way to extend it? Basically I need to capture a few more fields of information like a mailing address, and a checkbox and/or radio buttons on how they were referred. I've looked at extending the MemberProfilePage_Controller, but I need to save that data to the database. Any recommendations?

Thanks

absolutely!!!

here's a really good overview and tutorial! SilverStripe Membership Module Tutorial.

This is made for the module from ajshort but it can be applied to many other aspects of SS! Hope it helps!

Wow! Thanks for that link, that helped out a ton!

That site has a lot of great resources, hints and tips. Looks like I'll be improving my Silverstripe knowledge even more now.
