Multiple Registration Screens?

  • Is it possible to have 2 different registration screens?

    I’ve currently got a business directory, where if someone registers, they are a contributor, and a business profile is created for them

    What I want to add is a section for classifieds, which would require a separate registration page that would create them as a subscriber (or other role with role-manager) that would direct them to a classifieds sign-in page.

    Any thoughts on how I would get 2 (or more) separate registration pages?

    Thanks

  • I actually just finished building a plugin that will give you 2 (only at this point) separate registration screens. Well, in reality they’re the same registration screen, but people will have different user levels based on how they register.

    For example, people going to the typical https://blogname/wp-login.php?action=register screen will be registered with the default user level you have set up in WP. You can add a second page, like https://blogname/classifieds that will redirect people to the registration screen but set them up with a different userlevel that you specify in the plugin. Would this work for you?

    You can download the plugin here: https://www.jumping-duck.com/wordpress/. I’m still working to get it hosted on the WP site.

    I’ll have to try this and see if it works… from the sounds of it, I think it will work… I’ll let you know!

    Thanks

    Just so you know, I just released an update for the plugin that allows as many different registration screens as you want/need. It’s not showing up yet in the plugin repository (version 0.2), but you can still access it on the Jumping Duck Media webpage at

    EricMann:
    I am trying to put white paper on my site that users would need to provide their business card information into a registration form for before they could download the PDF. Do you think jumping-duck.com/wordpress would work for that application as well?

    Thanks, Kevin

    KNorman-

    I definitely think that is possible. But you’d need to add a few additional plugins, too.

    I’d recommend using the WP_Publications_Archive plugin to store your PDF. You can set up the download page to be visible to only logged-in users.

    I’d also suggesting using the Role Manager plugin to create a specific user role for this. Maybe add a PDF user role that can both “read” and “read private pages.” That way, once people are registered, they can log in and read the WP_Publications_Archive page.

    RegLevel will let you set a specific registration screen for this new user type, so you don’t need to worry about them interfering with other users on the site.

    If you have any problems with the plugin, just drop a line in here and let me know. There is one bug that interferes with a few themes and plugins at the moment that I have a patch for, but no one’s needed it yet (It will be included in the next release).

    Great. Thanks EricMann. I’ll set it up as you mentioned and let you know how it goes.

    KNorman – did this work? I would like to do the same thing – have people register business card details before they get a paper in pdf format.
