Custom user registration

[dewebeloper]

What is correct way for custom user registration.
I have to extend User with FirstName, LastName and a few more fields and to create registration form where user can enter all info at once.
I tried to add fields as CustomUserSettings and create workflow (Register User task) for registration but currently I don't see way how to write down my additional fields to user.
Is this a good approach or would be better to rewrite registration page and is there any guide for that?

Thanks

Suggest rewriting registration pages. We are supporting editing custom fields from the admin, but not for the front end.

I never tried, but a Form + Workflow could also work. I think we have Workflow tasks to create the User.

We don't have a Workflow task to create a user but we have event listeners on when a user is registered.
For a custom user registration form I basically created a module which uses a modified copy of the OrchardCore.Users RegistrationController and views.

So, I'm using the Workflow event for sending a email to an admin when a user is registered.

@jptissot Yes, Form + Workflow works but doesn't save CustomUserProperties fields from form.

@Skrypt that is possibility, but again that is custom development. I want do skip custom development.

@deanmarcussen is there is way to create ContentType and then in Workflow somehow link registered user with ContentType?

@dewebeloper look at what I have done here https://github.com/StatCan/StatCan.OrchardCore/blob/master/src/Modules/StatCan.OrchardCore.Scripting/UserGlobalMethodsProvider.cs . It allows you to edit the user's properties from a script task in a workflow.

I also have an example form in there to manage custom user settings. Just clone the solution, run it and try to use the User Profile form recipe

this is my example with custom registration
Clone and update the registration controller with below code add the addition attribute in view

            if (iUser is User user)
           {
                // Create UserProfile to website
                IEnumerable<ContentTypeDefinition> GetContentTypeDefinitions = _contentDefinitionManager.ListTypeDefinitions()
                    .Where(x => x.GetSettings<ContentTypeSettings>().Stereotype == "CustomUserSettings");

                if (GetContentTypeDefinitions != null)
                {
                    var def = _contentDefinitionManager.GetTypeDefinition("UserProfile");
                    var contentItem = await _contentManager.NewAsync(def.Name);
                    if (contentItem != null)
                    {
                        if (contentItem.Content.UserProfile.ContainsKey("FirstName"))
                            contentItem.Content.UserProfile.FirstName.Text = model.FirstName.ToString();
                        if (contentItem.Content.UserProfile.ContainsKey("MiddleName"))
                            contentItem.Content.UserProfile.MiddleName.Text = model.MiddleName.ToString();
                        if (contentItem.Content.UserProfile.ContainsKey("LastName"))
                            contentItem.Content.UserProfile.LastName.Text = model.LastName.ToString();
                        if (contentItem.Content.UserProfile.ContainsKey("Mobile"))
                            contentItem.Content.UserProfile.Mobile.Text = model.Mobile.ToString();

                        var updateContentContext = new UpdateContentContext(contentItem);
                        user.Properties[def.Name] = JObject.FromObject(contentItem);
                    }
                    _userManager.UpdateAsync(user).GetAwaiter().GetResult();
                }

[yassinsayed]

the below code to retrieve the custom user setting

        var def = contentDefinitionManager.GetTypeDefinition("UserProfile");
        var contentItem = user.Properties.TryGetValue(def.Name, out JToken property);
        if (contentItem)
        {
            var existing = property.ToObject<ContentItem>();

            if (existing.Content.UserProfile.ContainsKey("FirstName"))
                FirstName = existing.Content.UserProfile.FirstName.Text;
            
            if (existing.Content.UserProfile.ContainsKey("MiddleName"))                
                MiddleName = existing.Content.UserProfile.MiddleName.Text;
            
            if (existing.Content.UserProfile.ContainsKey("LastName"))                
                LastName = existing.Content.UserProfile.LastName.Text;
            
            if (existing.Content.UserProfile.ContainsKey("Mobile"))                
               Mobile = existing.Content.UserProfile.Mobile.Text;       
        }
