NYCPHP Meetup

[Donna Marie Vincent]

To clarify, I meant relabeling the existing fields, so user sees "co. name and address" instead of "description", etc.

I can get by with just renaming the existing fields.  That *should* be simpler.

They can't.  :-(

If you can't get by with what they give you... I REALLY recommend switching to a different user registration package.

If you MUST use K2, you will need to make changes in the following areas:
1) System plugins: K2 uses system plugins to detect when a new user is registering and modify the registration form to add their fields
2) User plugins: K2 uses the user registration event to then grab it's own fields[see system plugin above] and add that data to it's database
3) K2 user controller, model, and views: K2 information which is displayed to the user, searches, etc are all done in this code.

The upside of K2 is it has a very nice ACL system for itself which is all leveraged off it's user system

The downside of K2 is that even if you neutar the user stuff and use something else, you still need part of it to handle the user groups for the acl.

Hi, all.  I'm using K2 for the first time.  I don't see where the user registration fields can be modified or controlled. Are you supposed to do it in the code or through the admin?
