== Motivation ==
Registration of new users in Plone is very restricted in
functionality: the registration fields are a fixed
set. Adding extra fields to the form implies manually changing the
HTML of the form, and customizing the registration_form template and
process.
== Assumptions ==
There is a need for more flexibility in the registration fields: one
would like to be able to ask for a phonenumber, or company name, for
instance.
== Proposal & Implementation ==
Add configlet for registration fields. Allow admin users to determine what
fields need to be filled in upon registration. These fields will be
required on the registration
form.
Change the join form into a dynamic form that will use the configuration
settings to display the fields to the user to be able to register.
== Deliverables ==
* New configlet in site setup for registration providing two settings:
- join fields
* Dynamic form for join process
* Unit tests
* Localization
* Documentation
== Risks ==
Default behavior will be same as current situation. When migration from an
older Plone version si performed, the issue with join_form adaptations
needs to be addressed. Most probably a warning is enough for a detected
join_form customization.
== Participants ==
* Duco Dokter, dokter
* Kim Chee Leong, kcleong
* Kees Hink, khink
* David Convent, davconvent
== Progress ==
Some of the work has been done at the Baarn 2009 sprint.
