Date Joined?

[Guest_Shock]

Hey everyone.  Just got a question about the date joined.  It does not seem to log that when someone joins.  Is there any fixes on that?

Thanks again,
Mike

If you are only adding information to the database when the user joins, like you mentioned, the date, then there are four steps:

1. Modify the database tables: If you don't know how, check the mysql.org website for syntax. Something like "alter table users add date date"

2. Alter the function: I wanted to store a realname, email address and url. you need to send those to your function:

functions.php: function newUser($login, $password, $realname, $email,$url) {

and also where it's called:

join.php: newUser($HTTP_POST_VARS["login"], $HTTP_POST_VARS["password"], $HTTP_POST_VARS["realname"], $HTTP_POST_VARS["email"], $HTTP_POST_VARS["url"]);

3. Modify the form that is collecting the data: This is in the bottom of join.php

4. Modify the "insert into users" statement in functions.php:

functions.php: "INSERT INTO users (login, password, realname, email, url) VALUES('$login', password('$password'), '$realname', '$email', '$url')"

Using this, you should be able to easily extent the SimpleAuth framework.

I am unable to find this information in any of the files:

join.php: newUser($HTTP_POST_VARS["login"], $HTTP_POST_VARS["password"], $HTTP_POST_VARS["realname"], $HTTP_POST_VARS["email"], $HTTP_POST_VARS["url"]);

There's only one place where newUser() is called in the join.php script, you just need to find it and then modify the line to pass the extra arguments, just use the line you pasted instead of the line that's already in there then continue with lowry's guide above.
