How to override registration form in joomla 3.3 such as adding custom fields for example without hacking the joomla core files?

Question

I am having a problem with overriding the registration form in joomla 3.3, I need to add some extra fields such as mobile number, please if any one have an idea about this, please reply the question . thanks

Answer 1

In the Joomla backend, go to the Plugin Manager and open a plugin called User - Profile. This contains some additional fields that will appear on the default Joomla registration form. The fields it provides are:

• Address 1
• Address 2
• City
• Region
• Country
• Postal / ZIP Code
• Phone
• Web site
• Favourite Book
• About Me
• Terms of Service
• Select TOS Article
• Date of Birth

Select which fields you wish to use and enable the plugin.

Hope this helps
