Extra categories/custom fields on registration
 

I'm so sorry if this is already answered elsewhere. I have looked but can't find anything.

I run an animal rescue organisation. On our old forum when people registered they also filled in optional fields to stay whether they could help with fostering, transporting, homechecking, and their location, etc etc.

Their location is hugely important as we work with animals both throughout the whole of the UK and internationally. If an urgent case came up in a member's area we could then send them a PM or e-mail notification to let them know, rather than expecting everyone to keep logging in everyday to see if any help was needed in their area.

Is there a way of adding custom fields when members register please?

Thanks for any help anyone can give!

Look in the User Profile Field Manager in the admincp. You can add fields to the User Profile there. You can also make them mandatory.

Oh wow, that's brilliant. Thank you so much for your help! :)
