Can No Longer Add Registration Fields in Magento 1.4.2.0

Can no longer add registration fields in Magento 1.4.2.0

I have been struggling with this one quite some time untill I figured it out. Since 1.4.2, the attributes to show in the admin's customer's form have to be in table customer_form_attribute.

You can add them with an upgrade in your module's setup, with this code:

$eavConfig = Mage::getSingleton('eav/config');
$attribute = $eavConfig->getAttribute('customer', 'your_attributes_code');
$attribute->setData('used_in_forms', array('adminhtml_customer'));
$attribute->save();

Hope that helps.

Magento add extra fields to /customer/account/create/ page

Thanks for all your input. I came across this extension and it worked REALLY GREAT for me!

Magento adding a new filed on the registration panel

Since magento is based on entitiy attribute model. You can not manage the attribute of the registration field directly. If you are a software developer you can create attribibute in database and change in your code in the same way. If you are not a software developer you can install a module which provide facelity to manage your resistration page. You can search on google by keyword "magento registration field manager" and found verious module for the registration field management.

Magento - custom Account/Registration Fields

In that tutorial where it creates the attributes (Register.html) provide the following settings for your checkbox value.

$settings = array (
    'type' => 'bool',
    'input' => 'checkbox',
    'is_required'=> 0
);

The tutorial suggests a very unconventional method of setting up. In future you might find it easier to follow a tutorial for making a module to do it, it's a little longer but much more reliable. Or try a module creator to do the groundwork for you.

Magento - Upload file during registration

This is actually even easier:

Just make sure you set these parameters on your config.xml:

            'attributes' => array(
                'prooffile' => array(
                    'type'          => 'text',
                    'input'         => 'file',
                    'label'         => 'Proof file',
                    'visible'       => true,
                    'required'      => false,
                    'position'      => 100,
                    "user_defined" => false,
                ),

This adds a nice editor in your admin backend.
