How do I customize the user registration page?? I am using ezwebin (3.9). I cannot find any information at all. I need to add some custom questions and remove the country dropdown.

It sounds like you might want to create a 'shopaccounthandler'?

While I've not found much documentation on this subject,
I've seen some code in the kernel which can be used as a reference.

<i>http://pubsvn.ez.no/doxygen/ezshopaccounthandler_8php-source.html
http://pubsvn.ez.no/nextgen/trunk/kernel/classes/shopaccounthandlers/</i>

I look forward to creating more documentation on this subject.

If you can explain or show an example of this functionality,
please add your comments to the wiki!

Hey kracker,

Thanks for the quik response. I will test the example and let you know what happens.

Well I managed to break my ezPublish install. I guess I will have to start over for the 10th time. Half of this stuff does not make any sense at all!!

This ezPublish is too hard to customize. Why?

Just for verification. What does 'example_com' stand for. It is used in 'example_com/settings/shopaccount.ini.append'

Is this the directory name of my ezPublish install? Say for example: public_html/example_com/settings/shopaccount.ini.append

Also, do I need t make a file named 'shopaccount.ini.append'.

Take care to keep a clean backup of your install and db :\

We have all been there before, especially me.
With time and study, you will learn to avoid
the mistakes that break things.

'example_com' can represent the eZ publish root directory for your domain, so another similar example might be 'bluesclues_edu'. I also am known to use this as a way of referring to name of a website's domain name. http://example.com is a reserved domain name so it's ok to use it in examples :)

It's my example folder name, it does not need to be your own.

And yes you do need to create the 'shopaccount.ini.append' file per the instructions.
