Help with Registration UX

[doula]

Hi Guys ....

I want to create a registration UX for the new user web page that will create a user in the Web Secrutiy Table and save some data into the Customer Table. In the past I have done this using the "Create New User Account and Add User Information to Related Table" UX Template. When someone completes and submits their registration details I have some code that sends them a welcome email.

In the new application I am moving over from native DBF to MySql. I have set up Security to use MySql tables and have populated them with secrutiy data from my old application and it all works .... I can log in as a user. I now want to create the registration UX so people can register online.

In the new set up I have included a Secret Question and if I were to add the new user manually through the Web Secrutiy "Users & Groups" facility I am provided with the Secret Question Dropdown and Answer; however the UX template only creates User Name, Password and Confirm Password controls.

How do I add controls to the UX for a Drop Down to Select the Secret Question and a control for the user to input the Secret Question answer? What do I bind to or where do I link to to get the Drop Down questions and where/how do I save Secret Question data to the security table?

Thanks in advance for your help

I think Jerry has a series of videos covering this. You must link to a new SQL table.

Check the videos by searching security.

Thanks for the quick response Michael .....

I've seen this series and have used it in another application as a basis to set up the new user in the security table and write datea to a customer table. What it does not show is how to use other elements of the secruity system i.e. the Secret Questions and Answer.

That is the bit I am stuck on .... How do I add controls to the UX for a Drop Down to Select the Secret Question and a control for the user to input the Secret Question answer? What do I bind to or where do I link to to get the Drop Down questions and where/how do I save Secret Question data to the security table?

Any thoughts?

Thanks again.

Re: Help with Registration UX

You save the secret question to the linked table and the answer.

Alpha lets you add choices before and after to the drop down.
You may need to add other false questions to confuse the position of the correct answer in the drop-down.

When they make a choice in the dropdown use the onChange event to do a lookup.

If the input value matches the looked up value you are ok.

Let me know if you want a simple component to illustrate this.

Michael .....

I think I have solved the problem:

I have created a mySQL table with the questions and placed a dropdown control on the UX with the "Choices" dynamically linked to get the questions. I have also put a textbox control for the answer.

On Server-Side Action "dialogValidate" there is an action ExecuteServerSideAction("Validate Web Security Values::ValidateSecurity"). When you edit this action it allows you to Assign Variables (the variable name for the control) to the Security Value. (Each variable can only be assigned once).

On the Server_Side Action "afterdialogValidate" there is a an action ExecuteServerSideAction("Save Web Security Values::SaveSecurity"). This needs to be edited to Assign the Varibale as before.

This should write the Security Question data to the websecurityusers table.

When I test it I'll let you know if it doesn't work.

Thanks for your help.
