Hello everyone. I would like to ask how is it possible for me to add custom fields in the forum registration form so that users can select which department they are in?

The form would consist of the following:

- Username
- Password
- E-mail
- Department (Computing, Marketing, Psychology, Architecture)


Thanks in advance :)

Hello,

The registration fields are managed by joomla!, but you can use this kind of component to modify the fields : extensions.joomla.org/extensions/2034/details

I don't provide support by PM, because this can be useful for someone else.

Thanks for the help, but I have figured out how to implement custom fields in the registration form. The problem now is how do I allow the input from this field to advance to the SQL database? I realise that the <form action="..."> attribute links the form to another file, however the default path that is used for the Kunena forum is something that I can't find nor understand.

Currently the <form> tag looks like this:
Code:
<form action="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_user' ); ?>" method="post" id="josForm" name="josForm" class="form-validate">

I don't know where the input from the form is going and where this file is located, so can someone please help me with this? Thanks :)

From tag does not have anything to do with this. You need to extend Joomla registration process and easiest way to do it is to use one of the extensions from above link.
