Creating custom user forms

Hi,

I have to implement user registration/management functionality for my current project.

I'd like to build on the existing out of the box functionality but I would prefer to implement my own custom interface for gathering the data.

I've read through the developer's guide but this seems to recommend using custom forms and webparts. I am using document types based on aspx templates and I have some unusual requirements regarding display and capture of the information, so I can't really use these.

Ideally I'd like to know if it is easy to plug in to the built in kentico code for user management - and also if there is any documentation etc on this that would help me.

Thanks

Paul James

RE:Creating custom user forms

Hello.

This question is very general (what "unusual requirements regarding display and capture of the information" do you have?) but also in general, Kentico CMS is standard .NET 2.0 (3.5) application and form control (recommended in our documentation) is standard .NET control, so you can use any logic or approach usable in .NET application.

Second option would be to use custom form control and alternative form. You can select what fields will be visible on alternative form and add new ones. You can also use any form control in your custom field, so it depends on your particular needs.

Best Regards,
