Let's remove the fields not shown in this image from the signup process.
Dan, can you have a look? You may consider using the noshow_fields trick in wp-content/themes/bp-nelo/registration/register.php, or you rebuild the process to use a whitelist instead (seems like it might be more sensible).
This was pretty straightforward (I did the 2nd option). I do have one question though: should I delete the code that currently outputs the "Blog Details" section of the registration page, which allows users to create a new blog when they register? There was also some code related to the "College" field that had it also show the Positions field that I've just commented out for now, but will delete if you say it's alright.
Once I know what to do on those two questions, I'll go ahead and make the final changes and push the commit.
If it's not shown in the mockup, feel free to rip it out of the template. (As you can tell, that template has been accruing junk for years.) Thanks!
- Status changed from New to Resolved
Ah, I hadn't noticed that change. I assume Chris made it that way because it sorta makes more sense to think of it as "account" info rather than "profile" info. However, I understand that it's techincally profile data, and that it's not a straightforward task to switch columns.
I'm going to make the call to leave it as-is - we'll deviate from the mock-up in this respect. I've copied Chris here in case he feels strongly about the move.
