Which files edit to save additional field after Join in the ow_base_user table? | Forum

Topic location: Forum home » Development » Custom Code Modifications

Which php file does save (INSERT) the joinForm datas into the ow_base_user table? I searched it for a while, but couldnt find something. I want to save an aditional field in the table which should to be filled automatically in the background while the User registers on the Join Page.

What I excactly want is to save the md5(username) in that table; so I want to generate this just before the data is inserted to the ow_base_user table.

Which files do I have to change? Also maybe other tables to?

Can you please help me out? Maybe you have documentations or you know this? It would be great!

I recommend you to create a separate table (with relationship to ow_base_user) and use OW_EventManager::ON_USER_REGISTER event after user registration, so you wont need to hack the core.

As for your question: new user data is saved in BOL_UserService::createUser() method (\ow_system_plugins\base\bol\user_service.php), but you'll also have to edit BOL_User class for your custom field to save properly.
