Hi Team Webgalli,

I tried profile manager and I am planning to use it for my User logins but for comapany logins how do I maintain a seperate profile. In home page I need to have two sign up links User Sign up and Company Signup. With default Elgg and Profile Manager I can manage custom registration for Users. I need to have a second Entity which will be a company. Please do help me on this.

Thanks,

Ajmal

  As discussed above I need two signups User Signup and Company Signup. I am thinking of modifying function register_user in users.php file under engine/lib as below

    $user = new ElggUser();
    $user->username = $username;
    $user->email = $email;
    $user->name = $name;
    $user->subtype = 'Normal User';// Added to add new customer type.
    $user->access_id = ACCESS_PUBLIC;
    $user->salt = _elgg_generate_password_salt();
    $user->password = generate_user_password($user, $password);
    $user->owner_guid = 0; // Users aren't owned by anyone, even if they are admin created.
    $user->container_guid = 0; // Users aren't contained by anyone, even if they are admin created.
    $user->language = get_current_language();
    $user->save();

I have added subtype which will help me in identifying Normal User and Company User. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks in Advance,

Profile manager, together with the Roles Framework and Roles for Profile Manager could help you do this.

Profile manager itself,  lets them choose on signup which type of user the visitor wants to be, and gives the right profile fields. The roles for profile manager plugin attaches a role to the usertype and through the roles plugin you could override everything you want for the other usertype and give them whatever other options you want them to have.
