Add fields to woocommerce registration form

Hi Coen

Sorry to dig up old posts but I found this in a google search.

I’ve been attempting to insert a custom field into the user registration process (a select for ‘how did you hear about us?’ ) and have read up on both the register_form and register_post actions, and their use in WC during form-login.php and woocommerce_process_registration().

My issue at the moment is that I can’t find a suitable hook to update the user meta once processed, as register_post is only called before the user is created.

Would it be possible for future updates to include an “add_user_meta” action hook around line 665 of woocommerce-functions.php or a filter for the wp_update_user used to set the role to customer so we can add out own meta in here?

If there’s something I’ve missed, making all this unnecessary please let me know

Thanks

Aj

Hi,
I managed to map the WP default profile fields, first name and last name in woocommerce by modifying templates/myaccount/form-login.php and woocommerce-functions.php using the following tutorial as a base:
http://tommcfarlin.com/add-custom-user-meta-during-registration/

As per the instructions, I made the following edits:

1. Added the following to form-login.php

<div class="form-row form-row-first">
<label for="reg_firstname"><span class="required">*</span> <strong><?php _e('Firstname', 'woocommerce'); ?></strong></label>
<input type="text" class="input-text" name="firstname" id="reg_firstname" size="30" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['firstname'])) echo esc_attr($_POST['firstname']); ?>" />
</div>
<div class="form-row form-row-last">
<label for="reg_lastname"><span class="required">*</span> <strong><?php _e('Lastname', 'woocommerce'); ?></strong></label>
<input type="text" class="input-text" name="lastname" id="reg_lastname" size="30" value="<?php if (isset($_POST['lastname'])) echo esc_attr($_POST['lastname']); ?>" />
</div>

2. Added the following to woocommerce-functions.php in the function woocommerce_process_registration()

$user_firstname = isset( $_POST['firstname'] ) ? trim( $_POST['firstname'] ) : '';
		$user_lastname = isset( $_POST['lastname'] ) ? trim( $_POST['lastname'] ) : '';

and

$new_customer_data = array(
            	'user_login' => $sanitized_user_login,
            	'user_pass'  => $password,
            	'user_email' => $user_email,
            	'role'       => 'customer',
				'first_name' => $user_firstname,
				'last_name' => $user_lastname
            );

The thing is that while #1 can be achieved by overriding the woo templates through your theme but I am not sure how to modify / override a specific function. The only problem is that if the plugin is updated, you will lose the changes in #2 and will have to make the changes again.

As far as adding custom fields like “Where did you hear about us” might be possible using the same method above.

Hope it helps!

I just referred to this: Hooks
And the reference above: Custom Fields
To modify the fields on the Edit My Addresses page.

Another way to do it is to modify directly this file in your directory: woocommerce/classes/class-wc-countries.php

Hello i was looking for this too but since could not find anything decided to write something myself.
Since i dont like (and would not recommend) editing woocommerce plugin files.
I did everything through my themes functions.php file. Everything seems to be working well and all the proper hooks and filters are triggering.
here we go:

//Adding Registration fields to the form 

add_filter( 'register_form', 'adding_custom_registration_fields' );
function adding_custom_registration_fields( ) {

	//lets make the field required so that i can show you how to validate it later;
	echo '<div class="form-row form-row-wide"><label for="reg_firstname">'.__('First Name', 'woocommerce').' <span class="required">*</span></label>
<input type="text" class="input-text" name="firstname" id="reg_firstname" size="30" value="'.esc_attr($_POST['firstname']).'" /></div>';

}

//Validation registration form  after submission using the filter registration_errors
add_filter('registration_errors', 'registration_errors_validation', 10,3);
function registration_errors_validation($reg_errors, $sanitized_user_login, $user_email) {
		global $woocommerce;
		extract($_POST); // extracting $_POST into separate variables
		if($firstname == '' ) {
			$woocommerce->add_error( __( 'Please, fill in all the required fields.', 'woocommerce' ) );
		}
		return $reg_errors;
}

//Updating use meta after registration successful registration
add_action('woocommerce_created_customer','adding_extra_reg_fields');

function adding_extra_reg_fields($user_id) {
	extract($_POST);
	update_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', $firstname);

        // can also do multiple fields like that
        update_user_meta($user_id, 'first_name', $firstname);
	update_user_meta($user_id, 'billing_first_name', $firstname);
	update_user_meta($user_id, 'shipping_first_name', $firstname);
}

Thats about it! Would advice wordpress developers learn more about hooks and filters! they make everything so much more easier!

Have a good day!

I tried this above code to add a field to wooCom registration form. It works – kinda… it adds the code BELOW the Captcha.

Any ways around this?

Hi Flemming117, Thanks for the link. I notice that the code above from karbanovich has:
add_filter( 'register_form', 'adding_custom_registration_fields' );
from my experience it should have been add_action.

In any case, good news, I solved my problem with the CAPTCHA showing before my added fields. What is did…. make sure my action is before the Captcha

remove_action( 'register_form', 'cptch_register_form' );
add_action( 'register_form', 'adding_custom_registration_fields' );
add_action( 'register_form', 'cptch_register_form' );
