Add more data to the user validation screen.
By John
Trying to edit the register.php file to include more information about the user, but after I grab the text from the added textboxes (added with profile manager) and save it to $age, I don't know how to add it to:
$validation = elgg_validate_registration_data($username, [$password, $password2], $name, $email);Help?

You must log in to post replies.Learn Elgg documentation and Don’t Modify Core.
Also Profile Manager automatically saves it in the correct profile field with the user as it's configured on the admin side.
In this case probably 'age'
You can fetch that data using $user->getProfileData('age');
RVR... You are literally the least helpful person in the world. Please don't answer my questions if you are only going to point me to the documentation!
Jerome, Thank you... I will try that.

Actually he is very helpful. The documentation is the way to go for learning how to properly customize elgg.
Profile Manager should do the trick.
@JeremiahDuane
OK. You won't get any more help from me.
@RvR If that is what you call help than I think that is best. If you reply without an answer, others are more likely to think my question was answered.
@rjcalifornia I already know the documentation is a good source of information. When I ask a question it is because I have consulted the documentation and was unable to find what I am looking for. It like if I asked you what the word "Car" meant and you pointed me to a dictionary. Or if you are a mechanic and I took you my car, he wouldn't just say "here is a manual". This is a forum, I expect answers, not just a link to another website.
