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
I have been looking for a simple way to extend the user registration for ages. All I wanted to achieve was to have additional information about the people who are registering on the site and to be able to approve the registration; simple...not so.
My current solution was a mix of mods and coms using Chronoforms to create the form and handle the registration and xiadminapprove for the approval part. It took ages to get right and although there is more flexibility with Chronoforms to create the form just how you want it is a long process if all you want is to capture an address for your prospective users!
So on the the extension...Its in early stages so I expect this will go from being excellent to being THE extension for user registration on J1.5. So far I have tested its functions and can say it just works as it says. But the most important thing is its simple and quick.
I know its a paid extension but hey the price is less than a few beers and the time it saves is well worth it.
Unzip the files locally and install using Joomlas install system. Set up the parameters and use the modules supplied instead of the Joomla ones and basically thats it. Ensure you have the plugin enabled! Add an extra field and its added to the registration form...add another and thats added to the end...change order and use different types of entry types such as text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons etc and hey presto it all works.
Each email that is sent to the user is easily changed to make your site more user friendly.
The extra data is stored separately on the database and can easily be viewed using the extended user view which is identical to the Joomla view but has all the extra information relating to your extra fields.
I have suggested a couple of improvements and must say the response was almost instant! They tell me they will include these improvments soon so watch this space.
These are:
Ability to select a landing page once the user confirms the email address
The ability to export the user details to a csv file or similar
I hope this helps and really cannot praise this highly enough.
No need to register on their site to buy...just select what you want, checkout and you get an email with the extension attached minutes later!
Great job!

I just got this extension for my site but so far so good. I was a little weary of getting a brand new extension but my site was riddled with spammers and fake accounts so I had to do something. I’m glad I took the risk. Extended registration was easy to install and configure and it definitely gives me much more control over who to approve and who not to allow access to my site. I feel comfortable recommending this extension to others who want more control over their Joomla user base.
I can't say enough good things about this extension. It's easy to configure and use, everything is labeled very clearly and the amount of available features is second to none.
I especially like all the auto responders that you can setup for new accounts and also that I can see the IP address of the person registering so I can pre-screen their location for possible spam hot spots.
This extension is something Joomla core should of had all along. Definitely worth the cost of the license. Thank you J-Vitals!
