Hi Alan, do you perhaps know the shortcode so that I can reference the custom field in the admin confirmation mail template? I've tried {field} etc. but it doesn't seem to work...
Hi, The whole idea of custom fields is a that you do not have to edit the DB directly or the php. I did this years ago and it worked fine, but now that we have the custom fields option, I do not see a need to do this unless there is a reason for it that I am not aware of? Is there a reason why you want to do this?
The phone number field can be found in the user profile plugin, so you could activate that in the form or just setup a unique text field for the mobile number. There is also an integer field as an option but I'm not sure if this would work, experiment!
@@CircleOfWhiteLight I am giving up on joomla as i have 2-3 forms in each page and i prefer to develop rather than using plugins so it is easy to copy code base. I need to lots of frontend work with bootstrap for my requirement
@@amsgene If you want specific forms and the collection of data, then I would recommend convert forms as a component. It can do quite a lot, you can configure it and Tassos give great support. Why rebuild the wheel when there are tools out there to make your life easier? I don't know the project your working on but there is always a solution. :-)

Just a heads up, if you add the fields to a field group, it'll display the field group name instead of 'fields.'
Good work Alan, Thank you!
Wow! Never knew! Thanks a ton for this
Thank you SO much for teaching me how to do this!
No problem, glad it helped.

Hi Alan, do you have any documentation regarding how to do this in the backend, adding columns in the DB, modifying php, xml, etc.??? Thanks
