MyBB Community Forums

Please bear with me! i'm completely new to mybb plugin development and I am creating a plugin that will add extra options to the member registration page. I'm wondering if there is a built in way to create an input field in mybb. I will also be adding extra columns to the users table in mysql - if you know of any predefined functions for this i'de be very happy.

for example i would like to add another input to be used like on line 160 of /member.php

"apikey" => $mybb->get_input('apikey'),

Now as far as i can tell there's alot of predefined fuinctions in mybb and i'm wondering _where_ the input fields are being generated in html.

From what I can tell the structure is to use /inc/functions_users.php so I figured there would maybe be something like class_register.php or something along those lines. Thanks for your time and I appreciate all and any pointers.

Maybe can help you Do it from Administration Control Panel:

 - ACP, Home » Security Questions:  Here you can create and manage security questions that will be randomly shown during registration

For Example in ACP


And the Registration Page Display:

This would work great however i'm trying to create a plugin that will add the option. But this is a good point in the right direction.

https://community.mybb.com/archive/index...12195.html

describes my same issue on exception of the hook - i will be using it on the register page.

only thing i can think of at this point is some jquery trickery with the hook "member_register_start"

I figure that it has something to do with mybb's template system and the plugin library settings which I know nothing about.

I'm going absolutely mad trying to figure out why this isn't working!

function testAPI_activate(){

$query = $db->simple_select("settinggroups", "gid", "name='member'");

}

function testAPI_register(){
global $mybb, $db, $templates, $testkeys;
$blankoption = '';

eval("\$testkeys .= \"".$templates->get("testapikey")."\";");
exit;
}

// This function runs when the plugin is deactivated.
function testAPI_deactivate(){

rebuild_settings();
find_replace_templatesets("member_register", "#".preg_quote('{$testkeys}')."#i", '', 0);

}

function testAPI_install(){

}


function testAPI_uninstall(){

}

If this worked the way i wanted it to it would add this to my registration page upon activation:

<br />
<fieldset class="trow2">
<legend><strong>WHOA</strong></legend>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="{$theme[\'tablespace\']}">
<tr>
<td colspan="2"><span class="smalltext">test</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
inpout goes here
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</fieldset>

Try this:

function testAPI_register(){
global $mybb, $db, $templates, $testkeys;
$blankoption = '';

$testkeys = '<br />

<fieldset class="trow2">

<legend><strong>WHOA</strong></legend>

<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="{$theme[\'tablespace\']}">

<tr>

<td colspan="2"><span class="smalltext">test</span></td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td colspan="2">

inpout goes here

</td>

</tr>

</table>
</fieldset>';
}

I would try the datahandler_user_insert and datahandler_user_insert_end. https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/development/plugins/hooks/
