I tried the content_profile method suggested by Ken Winters, for creating a separate registration form with extra custom fields. I was able to add fields to the registration form. But now I am faced with another problem - even the default registration form shows the fields that I have added for the suppliers' form. Is there anyway some of these field can be restricted to the reg form for only certain roles? I am using this in conjunction with the autoassignrole module.

Thanks in advance.

Great!

I just wanted to mention that the hooks method might not be required for your particular needs.

Autoassignrole plus content_profile are pretty handy, but our specific case had some elaborate requirements so we needed the hooks anyway.

Thanks much! I got what I wanted. I am going to use autoassignroles module and then use the method Ken has mentioned - add profile attributes and then use the necessary hooks to modify the form to show the necessary fields.

I believe he wants the actual form to be different.

We did something similar using the Profile module to create the fields for all roles and then hook_user, hook_form, etc. to make sure that only the right fields are displayed based on arg(2) (or whatever) and then processed correctly.

Hi,

There is a drupal module names auto assign role.. which provides same functionality. We can differentiate forms on the basis of url. e.g assign different url for vendors registration and different url for customers.

Hi,

In a current project, I have to create a separate registration form for each role. For example, "customers" has a registration form and "vendors" have a registration form that is separate. Any idea how I may achieve this using existing drupal modules?

Thanks in advance,
