Hello,

for a new site we need to establish a relatively complex registration process including:
payment details, checking against a database and so on. How can we do this, where do we start?

Thanks
Oliver

Hi,

If you want to have that in all in registration, then probably you will have to create some custom datatypes that would handle different checks, validations etc. I find the datatype one of the most flexible interfaces between eZ and "custom/outside world".

For one of our projects where we have online payments, we separated user registration (it's a bit community site) and payment account registration. It is impossible then to take certain actions (again, with a use of almost-empty validation-purpose datatype) if you do not have valid payment account, which is not required for access, though.

Please share if you can the final outcome of this project.

Piotrek
