If I wanted to ad a simple text box in the register page that would allow the new person registering to input the user name of the person who referred them to the site and mail me at a specific email address when they click submit. Would it be difficult or would it screw up the form!

Re: Referred by

Actually the user form has 10 custom fields but are disabled by default.

Email be to send you the enabled version and you will need to delete the User and Pending users tables and create the tables again.

Then in your registartion form you can insert these custom fields as:

<INPUT type="text" name="User1" value="" size="30">
<INPUT type="text" name="User2" value="" size="30">
.
.
.
<INPUT type="text" name="User10" value="" size="30">

also you will need to edit your data/sysconfig.ini and add these lines to its end:

Require_User1~==~0
Require_User2~==~0
Require_User3~==~0
Require_User4~==~0
Require_User5~==~0
Require_User6~==~0
Require_User7~==~0
Require_User8~==~0
Require_User9~==~0
Require_User10~==~0

also you need to add these lines to the end of the language file "SignUp.pm"

error_user1~==~<FONT COLOR="blue">• You must enter your user1 field.<BR></FONT>
error_user2~==~<FONT COLOR="blue">• You must enter your user2 field.<BR></FONT>
error_user3~==~<FONT COLOR="blue">• You must enter your user3 field.<BR></FONT>
error_user4~==~<FONT COLOR="blue">• You must enter your user4 field.<BR></FONT>
error_user5~==~<FONT COLOR="blue">• You must enter your user5 field.<BR></FONT>
error_user6~==~<FONT COLOR="blue">• You must enter your user6 field.<BR></FONT>
error_user7~==~<FONT COLOR="blue">• You must enter your user7 field.<BR></FONT>
error_user8~==~<FONT COLOR="blue">• You must enter your user8 field.<BR></FONT>
error_user9~==~<FONT COLOR="blue">• You must enter your user9 field.<BR></FONT>
error_user10~==~<FONT COLOR="blue">• You must enter your user10 field.<BR></FONT>

or just update it

You will need to update these files only:

createtables.pm
signup.pm
sqldriver.pm
editprofile.pm

to your cgi-bin/auction directory

Re: Referred by

Ok so i'm still confused. You've listed a bunch of steps below then you said or almost as it seems to be "or do this" then I emailed you and you sent me the entire auction script again and said to update *.pm. I'm not sure what I should do here as it seems there are 3 different things suggested.

Re: Referred by

You will need better to update all the *.pm files, *.cgi files and do the other steps also regarding adding the lines to the 2 files above.

Re: Referred by



<INPUT type="text" name="User1" value="" size="30">
<INPUT type="text" name="User2" value="" size="30">
.




What should I set the value too.

I have a field in my user table for refered_by can I set the value to

<INPUT type="text" name="User1" value="!--refered_by-->" size="30">

and will that place the data that the user enters into that field in the data base.

It should be:

<INPUT type="text" name="User1" value="<!--User1-->" size="30">

To add a credit for registered users should be easy from the accounts manager, click on the users ID and you will be able to add credit or debit.
