Question about registering

[Dribbles]

When someone is registering, I added a new custom field to fill in (favorite quote) ... is there a way I can have this field already filled out?? ie- if the user doesn't fill it out, it already have something written there ... but if they want to fill it out, they can just delete whats there are write whetever they want. thnx

not tested:

edit register.php, find:

PHP Code:

 if ($profilefield[required] and $$varname=="") { 


before that add:

PHP Code:

 if ($varname=="fieldX" and $$varname=="") {
$$varname='My custom text';} 


Replace X with your profile field id of this special field.

Hi, I tried it and it didn't work They already have "http://" filled in the homepage section, I wonder if it would just be a matter of copying some code they already used and changing the field name?

I tested it, my code works..

But it does not pre-fill a field in the register screen (is this what you asked?). Instead it will auto-fill it if user didn't fill it after he clicked submit button.. Try to leave the field blank and you'll see it works..

Oh, my mistake. I just looked in the register screen to see if something was already written. This is just as good. Thank you
