Registering Users

Регистрация пользователей

Register controller allows to register users, add them to user groups and send notifications. It extends Form controller, so you can use all its parameters to send letters during registration.

Field names should be the same as modUsers model's ones.

If there's no "username" field in the form, then its value will be the value of the "email" field. So it's possible to register users only by e-mail.

If there's no "password" field, then its value will be created automatically. So, the registration adds up to specify e-mail only.

If there's the "repeatPassword" field in the form and validation rules are set for the "password" and "repeatPassword" fields, then the "equals" rule will be corrected to check if the "password" field matches the "repeatPassword" field: :

"repeatPassword":{
    "required":"Enter password one more time",
    "equals":{
        "params" : "This key is not needed because it will be set by Register controller",
        "message":"Passwords don't match"
    }
}

Registration need to check if the "username" and "email" fields are unique. Controller provides rules needed:

&rules=`{
    "username":{
        "required":"Enter user name",
        "alphaNumeric":"Only letters and digits are allowed",
        "custom":{
            "function":"\\FormLister\\Register::uniqueUsername",
            "message":"You cannot use this name"
        }
    },
    "email":{
        "required":"Enter e-mail",
        "email":"Wrong e-mail",
        "custom":{
            "function":"\\FormLister\\Register::uniqueEmail",
            "message":"You cannot use this e-mail"
        }
    }
}`

All model fields for the new record are available in templates. Additional field "user.password" with given password is set.
