Registration Form

[bespokeappstt]

Can I create a user registration form using Fabrik instead of Joomla's default user registration? So I'll get the same functionality with the email to an administrator alerting that a new user want to register and under User Management I'll see a new user added and all I have to do is activate the account? So everything is joomla except the Front End, how the Front End looks is all Fabrik?

I am assuming the joomla user form plugin can do this.

What I don't know is how to use it. I thought of creating the form first and then going to the plugin feature and adding something there. But I didn't see anything in plugins of the form. So how do I create a registration form with this thing?

Create a Fabrik list with all elements you need for Joomla registration (i.e. the ones you have to map in the jUser plugin) + any additional elements you want to use (e.g. address information...)
Especially:
If you want to edit/update the Joomla user information if editing your list entries (I can't imagine a meaningful situation where you don't want to) it's required to have

User ID field - to hold the Joomla userID: this may be a simple field (e.g. if it's hidden) or a dbjoin to #__users; DON'T use a "user" element
User group field: has to be a usergroups element if you want to support the Joomla standard with multiple groups. Any a other element type will only support one group per user.

So I create a list and add all the elements I need including accommadation for the user id field. Then I go to forms>Plugins and I'll be able to add the plugin from there? I've already installed the zip file.

 

[troester]

Yup.

 

[bespokeappstt]

I need a step through. I don't even know how to get the options that are shown on the screenshot in the wiki.

 

[bespokeappstt]

My plugins doesn't have any 'juser' option.

 

[troester]

If you have installed the zip check in Extensions/plugins if it is enabled.

 

[bespokeappstt]

ahhhh. Grrrhhhhh. My bad. Sorry for the waste of time. I'll go check.

With regards to your comment

User group field: has to be a usergroups element if you want to support the Joomla standard with multiple groups. Any a other element type will only support one group per user.

I only want one user group. Registered User, nothing else. So I guess this means I can leave the 'User group field' blank?

Yes.

Things are looking quite good. Quick question on the password. Joomla's default password section has the field twice as do most registration forms on the Internet. Do I have to put two password field elements and use JavaScript to check that both entries are the same or is there an easier setup for this?

 

[troester]

Use a password element. Don't add a validation, it's "built-in".

 

[bespokeappstt]

So just add another password element and I guess I can name is 'Confirm Password'? And Fabrik automatically checks both elements to ensure the password is the same?

 

[troester]

No, just one element of type=password.
It will show the additional confirmation field + the password strength (if you don't disable this setting).

 

[bespokeappstt]

I may have disabled the setting as I am not seeing the additional field. Where is the setting found? It's not showing:

[troester]

Did you add an element with "Plug-in" = password? (Not an element "Plugin"=field and Input type = password)
Maybe you have to install this plugin, it's not part of the Fabrik core installation.

 

[bespokeappstt]

Is it the element is a password or the element is field and the input type password?

 

[bespokeappstt]

Ahhh. Just as I thought okay no problem.

 

[bespokeappstt]

Okay. The password thing is now showing as it should. What about the email functionality? Joomla's default registration form will send an email to the default admin email address. Will the same thing happen here or do I have to add email plugin functionality?
