Custom Profile / Sign-Up pages

bwmarrin

How would you customize, say, the sign-up, or user profile pages? I'd like to use Flarum as a online gaming guilds forum software. The sign-up process would be a bit more involved so I would need it to ask a few more questions. Also each user should get a more detailed user profile that has advanced fields holding gaming info and such.

I've read though the documentation but I'm still a bit unclear where to get started 🙂. I haven't used a JS user interface API like mithril before. Would any interface changes like extending the sign-up and profile pages require work done in the Mithril framework or just html/css pages 🙂 I know the backend would need modified too to handle new fields of course.

Is this something that would be considered "easy to do" or at this stage a considered a lot of work? Just trying to get an idea if it's something I can pull off 🙂

Probably you should wait for some extension that do this.

This should be moved to Feature Extension. 🙂

Well I kind of was toying with the idea of using this as my first attempt to make an extension. I just wasn't sure how complicated that would be 🙂

So, my question was. Is all of the end users web interface done in the Mithril part of the code? So any changes would need to be made in that? Then a separate change on the backend php code to support the client changes? Just trying to make sure I understand where to start looking and toying around.

That is correct, yes. 🙂

Franz Thanks a lot! Guess I need to start learning more JS! I'm definitely more PHP skilled!
