Install Custom Registration Form Plugin on Tutor

[regis]

@qali

$ ./manage.py lms makemigrations

This is actually a very bad idea which is likely to break your platform.

Hi @regis and thanks for warning,
But is it related to Koa or? because after changes on custom models, forms, fields I always use same commands ?

Thanks…

This is not specific to Koa – at least, not that I know of. If you make changes to certain models, then yes you will want to generate migrations, but not for all models. Instead, you probably want to generate models only for your customized application. For instance:

./manage.py lms makemigrations custom_reg_form

Thanks for clarification @regis and sorry for that @nadheemabdulla
I thought that

./manage.py lms makemigrations

effects just models which has been changed(custom_reg_form) after last migrations, not all LMS, CMS… But I will remember that thanks

[nadheemabdulla]

Thanks again for the help.

@qali

But any way, what kind of custom fields do you want to in your registrations form ? So we can try to make a demo for that.

I would like to add 1. Gender ( not optional) 2. Date of birth 3. Mobile number and 4 Nationality

to see if it works, I used this fork of Opencraft Custom-form-app (as Opencraft custom form app’s django version is incompatible with Koa)

Thank you so much @regis and @qali !

I’ll try with this.

Hi @nadheemabdulla,
Here is a little demo which is consist of just one extra field(phone number).

murat-polat/custom-form-app

It works and has possibility download data as CSV format, from the Django admin side. Actually I tried to make “Gender” and " Date of birth" as Required fields, but that was not easy for me, bacause overridding fileds which already exist, effects the other fields. But you can try that on your test server. And this example from Appsembler

appsembler/custom-form-app

may can help you for overidding existing files.

Thanks and god luck !

[nadheemabdulla]

Thanks for the help @qali
I’ll try this way.

[nadheemabdulla]

Hi @qali I could make the phone number field working.
Thank you so much!

@qali on your page it also says you can “download all information from the Django admin site as a CSV file”. Can you provide some guidance for how the Django download works, in the repo documentation? I don’t see anything jumping out at me for how to download the data when I go to the Django interface.

[nadheemabdulla]

@oedx You can access the added registration information on django admin at http://lmsdomain.com/admin

• sign-in with the admin username and password
• Go to Extra infos under CUSTOM_REG_FORM
• You can see all the extra registration information listed.
• Select the users you are interested in and choose download CSV from Actions and Go

The problem is that when I go to the Django admin page and search for “Extra” or “CUSTOM_REG_FORM”, I get no hits (neither do I see it when eyeballing it alphabetically). I can see that the custom registration form is in effect through when I sign out and go to register, so I know the plugin is working.

Edit: Oh wow, usually I’m just lazy so I edit my studio.LMS.com/ URL to be studio.LMS.com/admin to get to Django. But I just found out that it’s only if I go to LMS.com/admin (not prepended with studio) that I can see the CUSTOM_REG_FORM entry! Accidentally learned something today!
