7 custom themes to choose from or let your Joomla template control it all
Full control of .js libraries for advances users
Full control of password strength. Allowing you to control what characters are and are not allowed in user passwords)
Complete control of redirects for before, during and after the registration process. You can even redirect your users to a custom page if they happen to fill in your registration form incorrectly)
The most powerful tool in ExtendedReg is the simplicity of creating custom forms. Simple right click, add rows, columns, steps, default or custom fields. You can even add an entire group of fields in one simple step.
And if that's not enough, you can create as many registration forms as you like and collect different data for each form. When allowing users to update their data from the front end, they only see the fields that were available in the form they registered with at the time of registration (unless you add more of course). If you add new custom fields to a form and set the fields as "Required fields", your members are redirected at login to edit their profile automatically without any additional work on your part. This permits the us
Its just a j! Form component, demo look good but its just a form component that other form component can do.witha a proper form component you can do more than than. Value for money? Its expensive!
The product is very good and the support forum excellent. The only thing I miss is some online documentation as some things are not self explanatory. There are some tutorials and the majority of info can be obtained from the component itself, but sometimes it is not enough.
The component however enables you to extend the registration process to new limits and is a very good thing to buy if you need such things.

I was looking for an extension that could help me configure a rather extensive registration process, including several registration forms, assigning of specific groups based on field values. I have spent an immense amount of time looking for a product that could meet the need, and I feel that Extendedreg is without doubt the best and comprehensive extension available. I also needed to integrate my registration info with a forum product, so combining Extendedreg with Agora Pro was the perfect choice. The support from the developer is outstanding in my opinion. Very prompt and detailed, they genuinely care about helping you solve your problems. Especially when you identify a bug or error, instead of just getting a "we will fix in next release" reply, they provide you with a temp. solution editing the core files, so you can proceed, this saves a ton of time in the development process. I will definitely recommend this product. Great work.
We use Virtuemart 2.0.10 on Joomla 2.5.6.
We also use the Flexible Web Design shopping cart theme and Istraxx UPS shipping module. Everything was working exactly as we wanted when we added ExtendedReg. It was our hope to use this as a way to assign new users to particular shopping groups, thereby facilitating discounts for that group.
After we installed and configured ER, the shopping cart changed from automatically selecting the one and only one UPS real time quoting system and the PayPal plug-in, which were configured to be automatically selected, to now forcing the user to select each choice.
I submitted a support request 3 days ago, but have not heard a reply.
This product may eventually do what we paid $100.00 for it to do, but the support leaves much to be desired.

Hi johnlanglois and thank you for your review. Your 3 days was actually 2 over the weekend. Monday morning we responded to your support question. After working with you and spending several hours on your site, you determined that the issue you were having existed before you even installed ExtendedReg and was a misconfiguration on your part of the shopping cart and a 3rd party plugin. Though we do appreciate ALL feed back, good or bad, I think a fair assessment of the ExtendedReg is only fair.
The extension is extremely handy when using login/logout functions and hide show menu's.... but thats not all. far from..... the best part still has to come... It's extreme user friendly. Well developed and extreme FAST support. (yesterday I got response before I even asked!!)
Thumbs up for this!!!

If you get a reasonable number of modules the cost of support runs about $100 for six month. For that kind of cash I expect to at least get decent documentation. The ExtendedPages module has NO document AT ALL.
Yes, the knowledge base available through the forum is extensive, but you better know exactly how to phrase your search. And you should also know some basic PHP and MySQL.
It's good, but it's not easy.

Thank you for your feed back. Unfortunately none of your review is very accurate. Extendedreg DOES have complete documentation. Extendedpages is documented directly in the admin panel. It requires absolutely no php or MySQL from the user part.
It does give you the ability to modify the HTML output to better suite your needs
Very pleased with the product, works as expected. Installed easily, and worked right off the bat. Excellent support in the forum as well!
This extension is comes with many features needed in customizing and controlling user registration. A huge plus is it writes directly to the Joomla user tables, so no need to constantly make sure your users are in sync with the component. You can create custom fields and add them to the registration process, and send multiple emails for each step of the registration process. Another plus is the ability to assign email addresses to the registration process, so if you have distribution lists this comes in really handy. If a full community extension like CB or JomSocial is overkill for your site, but you need a more complete and customizable registration solution with statistics, extra fields, and statistics, definitely get this extension. Very easy to use and install, even for beginners.
Is is a very good extension and maybe the only component with this capability now for Joomla 2.5.
Also great support.Some functions would be improved and added to be a perfect Software. Only one lack: we are still waiting the support to manage the Email sent to user for multi-language website. This actually cannot be handle.

We have now used this extension for more that 6 months and can recommend this product to everybody who needs a bit more from their member registration than just a username and a password.
We have successfully moved 30000+ member from another system (with the help of Hazzaa and his team) and am extremely happy. Updates and enhancements are release regularly and they also provide ad-hoc enhancements for a few.
Overall, this is a fantastic product and they provide great support
Highly recommended

I needed to extend and customise the registration process with Joomla websites for clients. This is an invaluable tool if you need to collect and manage user data properly.
Joomla continues to request simple data fields and the latest 2.5 does a poor job with a plugin to enable extra fields, that can't be customised. In comes ExtendedReg and what a job it does!
Extremely robust, reliable and effective. Minor issues on one site which was down to permissions but otherwise works absolute fantastically.
I use this on any joomla websites which require user management / memberships.

Justin

ER did exactly what I needed it to do. As a novice to Joomla and a non coder I need some support and JVitals support was quick and excellent. This component is a must have for many sites - I can't believe how easy it's made my reg process.
Thanks guys!
Thanks guys!
I always wondered if it was real people posting in these comment sections, or the creator of the extension padding their good name. I will attest that, when it comes to ExtendedReg, the comments about their quick and helpful customer service are 100% true, and exemplary. I am CONFIDENT in installing this product on my portal website because I know if I run into a snag I can get immediate assistance from their forum. Good work jVitals. REALLY.
I must say that I have used extendedreg on a couple of sites and it is in a very good extension.
It has a shortfall though and that is:
When you create more than one user profile with more than one login the redirect will go to the Default login. This means that.. If you have buyers and sellers and the buyer login is the default profile, sellers could be redirected to the buyers registration form.
This is an inherent flaw and what bugs me is that the support team quoted me $125 to fix something that should not have been broken to start with.
Unacceptable. :-(

The extension itself is fantastic and allows you to do many useful things you can't do with the default Joomla package. But, for me, the greatest thing is the support - very prompt, very thorough, and they never make me feel like an idiot, even when I am being one!
I was searching for a long time for such a solution and found it in ExtendedReg + Virtuemart-Integrator. Everything works perfekt and it's easy to manage (also for a Newbe like me). Great job - well done, thank you !
