Hi

I need some advise (pros and cons) of creating a new module vs. customising an existing module. Questions like "is the customisation going to affect future DNN updates and how","what are the things that must be taken into consideration when customising an existing module","how do I intergrate a new module that deals with registration and login into the current DNN framework", arise when I contemplate this question. DNN is fairly new to me and what I need to do for my site is to add and remove some registration fields, and change the login module to ask for the users mobile number and password.

Any and all comments welcome and will be appreciated.

Thanks

Darryl

Customising core modules seems to me difficult. I've developed a custom registration module to add some fields. This is done by creating your custom DB table wich cotains the UserId and additional information you want. Just look at the core modules to get know how registration and loging in made.

About login module with the mobile phone number. If the mobile phone number is additional information you use to authorize the user than just add a phone number verification to the core module as is the input in the signin.ascx.

Best regards, Evgeny

Where do you change which registration form is used?

How did you create your custom registration module? Where did you get the UserId field from?
