Adding Sign on Fields to Sign Up page

Hello to the fine community here,

I have a quick question. I would like to add fields to the Sign Up page that would allow users to put in items likes, Country, Language ... and questions like "How old are you?"

I'm aware that many aMember users have added fields like this to their Sign Up page / fields. I would like to know how to add the pull down fields to the questions asked. Also, where is the data asked collected in aMember?

I have looked at the following:

http://manual.amember.com/Adding_User_Profile_Fields

and even this:

http://www.amember.com/kb/index.php#category_6

I don't see were information for a pul down menu is added. Or is it just regular HTML lines added to one of the fields in the "Add Fields" section of aMemebr CP.

Any input in this regard would be welcomed.

Go to your aMember admin screen, and click on add fields.
Click on add field.
Field name, will be the field name in the database, title will be shown to the user. Description is more for you.

Common field
SQL type - will depend on you, but I like Blob

Select the type of input you want and you will then be able to input the default input, or choices.

Visibility of field- this will determine if its shown on the signup page, or profile page.

Submit and check out your signup form- It should now be added to it.

Thanks David! I'll follow these instructions. If I needed to delete a field could I do it from this page or directly from the database

Thanks

Yep, you can do it right form the admin screen.

Hello again David!

We tried this and it does work. However, I would like to know how to create pulldown menus...like the country selection area...a list of countries in a pulldown box. It doesn't look like aMember has a pulldown menu option. Is this correct !?

Thanks! It now works fine. I have added about 10 new select boxes.

Thanks again.
