Hello All,

First, I'm fairly new to DNN.  I'm using the 4.9 framework but need to modify the registration process to include an additional form before asking for profile information as is the case with the base install.  I have stepped through code while debugging to see where the "Register" link goes to but cannot locate the page where the form exists. 

I plan to plug my form into a panel which will be presented before the profile form.  My form will submit to a webservice and get results from the service.  The next step depends on the results of that webservice request.

Any ideas on the scriptname/path to the registration form/script and how best to accomplish what I need?

 
The user registration form is dynamically generated -- there is no .ASCX page with the fields already in place. 

 
There are a couple of relatively easy ways (besides buying a third-party module) to collect additional information during the user registration process:

(1) Use DNN's custom user profile field feature to declare your own custom fields and make them required for user registration.  You'll have to set your site's settings to enforce required user profile fields.  Note that custom field data is not stored in the same basic manner of most DNN data -- custom field data must be parsed from an agreegated entry (can have more than just one field's data) in order to extract a particular field's value.  It's easy to use DNN's features to create custom user profile fields and to store the data but a bit harder to retrieve the data when using your own SQL queries.

(2) If you have "open" user registration on your DNN site, hide/remove the user registration link from your DNN skin (make a note of the registration URL before you hide the link!) and insert your own link that leads to a page with your custom pre-registration form.  Once your custom form is complete, forward your users to the actual registration URL (the one you hid).

Hope this gives you some useful ideas - good luck!
