If you wan't to force a user to present himself when he registered on your zikula,you can do it easily in two steps.

step 1 :

Create a custom field "_PRESENTATION", and check the field "required" in the dynamic field

index.php?module=Profil&type=admin

step 2 :

if you wan't to automatically create a message when the user registered

add the following code just the step after the user is registered

in "users_user_finishnewuser" after

Code
after (!$registered) {
LogUtil::registerError(_USERS_REGISTRATIONFAILED);
} else {

add

Code
//log the user
pnUserLogIn($uname, $pass, false);
$forum_id=2; // forum id where the message will be stored
// we create the subject
$topic_id = pnModAPIFunc('pnForum', 'user', 'storenewtopic',
array('forum_id' => $forum_id,
'subject' => "presentation of ".$uname,
'message' => $dynadata['_PRESENTATION'],
'attach_signature' => false,
'subscribe_topic' => false));

i think it's possible but i don't know the module PNphpBB2 module, perhaps you can ask their team.

note that this code is very ugly, in order to do it in more clean way, you can create hook (indeed, there is call to pnModCallHook in the "users_userapi_finishnewuser" function, i didn't see it before)

Code
pnModCallHooks('item', 'create', $uid, array('module' => 'Users'));

In order to do this

registering the hook

register a hook in your pnInit function (pninit.php YourModule_init() )

Code
if (!pnModRegisterHook('item',
'create',
'API',
'YourModule',
'user',
'create')) {

return false;
}

creating the hook

create a function "YourModule_user_create" and implements its. Note that you can have the user info with his UID.

(sample in the EZComments module)

I'm looking for the place to edit and change. I'm looking in Profile but I just do not see? Can you direct us as to what module is used to add?

TIA...

in the admin of the "Profile" module, there is a lot of fields (occupation, interest etc ...), you just have to create one more field, in this module.

It looks like you have somewhat detailed 3 steps in Step 1:

Step 1) Create a custom field "_PRESENTATION"

Note: In the above I have found that in Profiles using link 'Create Account Panel Property', and there is a field titled 'Property label' which I have added '_PRESENTATION' (less the quotes).

Step 2) Check the field "required"

Note: In the above I have found the field titled 'Required'. I was unable to place a check in there so I'm fairly sure it is supposed to be 'Yes'.

Step 3) In the dynamic field 'index.php?module=Profil&type=admin'

Note: in the above I can not find a field titled 'Dynamic' to place 'index.php?module=Profil&type=admin' (less the quotes) in?

TIA...

No, there's only two steps. Step 1, add the property. Step two modify the code.

So what is this below? I'm reading this and I'm confused.

You said in Step 1 all I need to do is add the Property which I'm guessing is '_PRESENTATION', and that is it?

In the below, the original poster wants more done in step 1?

Code
step 1 :

Create a custom field "_PRESENTATION", and check the field "required" in the dynamic field

index.php?module=Profil&type=admin

It looks like in the original post, step 2 is optional.

Code
if you wan't to automatically create a message when the user registered

add the following code just the step after the user is registered

I'm confused...

Just below where you add the '_PRESENTATION' it states to add a define in a global.php to go along with the '_PRESENTATION'. Doing this really screws up some things... I'm guessing the global.php that you create as instructed supersedes some other global.php somewhere.

As I see it; what I should be doing is:

1) Go into the profile module
2) Select the Create Account Panel Property link
3) Add _PRESENTATION to the field titled 'Property label'
4) Click the green checkmark to create the new property label

Now, if I want it to send the profile to a predefined forum then I would add the code in Step 2, and if I really do not care post profiles to a forum I can omit this?

What exactly is this going to force the new user to do?

TIA...

Well, if you don't want to do step 2, then that kinda kills the whole point of the project doesn't it? I dunno, I'm still trying to get my American English mind around exactly what we're trying to do. I THINK it's force an introduction post in a forum when a new user signs up, right?

I was thinking it would force new users to complete their profile?

I thought there was a already an option to display or send a post for a new user?

I'm still confused

no, you don't have too, HalbrookTech ;), it's right what you've said

Code
it's force an introduction post in a forum when a new user signs up

and ... in order to do this you have to create a mandatory field in the profile module

why because, the validation process is managed by the Zikula Core
--------
then in the second step, you create physically the message in pnForum

OK, now it is making some sense. The requirement is pnForum. :(

I'm still a little fuzzy on the correct procedure to implement this hack. However, I'm not running pnForum at the moment.

So you'd register a hook, in pnForum/Dizkus and create the hook function, which would basically be a redirect to the create post function right?
