Hi,

How do I make other parts of the registeration/edit profile so that you need to fill them in otherwise you can't register or edit your profile until you do.

for example, Country & Gender need to be filled out at registeration.

Regards
TJ

before reqiring that your members must provide this info, you should investigate how it will affect you with regards to the data protection act

I think country would be OK, but gender is personal information, so you should be careful if you make it compulsory.

To answer your initial question,
You need to look in pop_profile.asp for code similar to this


if trim(Request.Form("Name")) = "" then 
      Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must choose a UserName</li>"
end if

It will occur in a couple of places, just insert the following code after the "end if"

if trim(Request.Form("Country")) = "" then 
       Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must choose a Country</li>"
end if

do the same for any other items you require

I can't get this to work!

I am trying to make so that you must enter First Name

Locatet:
if trim(Request.Form("Name")) = "" then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must choose a UserName</li>"
end if

2 places in pop_profile.asp

Under both I have written:

if trim(Request.Form("FirstName")) = "" then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must enter First Name</li>"
end if

No results.. ?

TheBigSnake,

The place you need to put the code is in register.asp:

		if trim(Request.Form("FirstName")) = "" then
			Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You Must give a First Name</li>"
		end if

Find the following code:

		if strAutoLogon <> 1 then
			if trim(Request.Form("Name")) = "" then
				Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must choose a UserName</li>"
			end if
		end if

and place it under that.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,

David Greening
