Obtaining/requiring minimum user data for RPX in form submission handler?

We use a form submission handler to send email with a user's registration info and questionnaire answers to an administrator whenever someone downloads our product.

However, we found that RPX authorized users didn't contain the necessary information in their records.  Thus we had to turn off RPX registration in our site in order to make sure we gather the info properly.

Of course, we'd like to still use RPX, but that may not be possible if we can't require a minimum dataset from the user when they register with it.  We need things like phone contact info.

Is there a way to gather this through RPX, or into the user record so we don't need special code in the formhandler to figure out which kind of registration they have and handle the info through a different api than the normal user one?

Re: Obtaining/requiring minimum user data for RPX in form submission handler?

Users who register via RPX/Janrain Engage have to complete the same reigstration requirements as anyone who registers via the regular registration page. ie required custom user profile properties must be completed in order to activate the account.

However if you're doing something custom with Form Wizard Pro for site registration I have no solution for that to work with Janrain. Form Wizard Pro was never intended as a replacement for the built in site registration process.

Best,

Joe

Re: Obtaining/requiring minimum user data for RPX in form submission handler?

Interesting.  For some reason I wasn't getting the custom registration fields on some users, and I thought it was because they were using RPX.

Perhaps I jumped the gun on my diagnosis.  Maybe it was just coincidental and there's another reason for it.  I'll look at this more deeply.

That's good info to know.  Thanks.

My bad.  Turns out we had a database import that didn't include all fields.  Sorry to bother.
