Additional User Registration Tabs on My Account

Hi All,

I'm interested in extending the  User Registration information to include some additional information.  The addtional registration information would include more detailed user demographics such as address, phone, etc as well some new application specific variables.  Ideally this would be saved an a new table structure within an external database, while still utilizing the tabs format of the "My Account" pages.  I've just started exploring the potentail of mojoPortal and was hoping for some insight into the feasibility of extending the My Account UI to include addtional user registration information.

Thanks in advance,

Brian Napora

Re: Additional User Registration Tabs on My Account

Currently the only part of the My Account page that is easily customizable is the content of the Profile tab as documented here. 

I don't recommend you modify the mojoportal code because then it will be difficult to get upgrades. The best strategy I can think of if you need to be able to customize it, is implement a custom version in a separate web app project (add your own project(s) to the solution) and use a post build event to copy your version up to the main Web project replacing the existing page.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Additional User Registration Tabs on My Account

Thanks for the response Joe.  Has there been any discussion around extending the "My Account" section to the point at least of adding additional tabs that could then "host" a set of custom user controls?
