Create custom field for account signup form

[Parker White]

Hello, im looking at trying to figure out how to customize the sign up form to specific texts i want. Or how to add a custom block for someone to enter a specific username. Ultimately, I would like to make a new custom field thats required to enter a text on signup like a discord username. Any help would be awesome.

so I figured out how to have it on your profile. Not to be too picky but is there a way to have it directly under your username for website? or make it more large and obvious?

You can add custom profile fields to the profile section on the left of posts, if that is what you mean here? Please see the following guide, which shows how to do this

ok i found it and added the fields, when i set the search value to look for all things related, the profile field i added in the tutorial link you sent me doesnt bring anything up for their field. I also dont see it on their profile under their name. I entered this too 

<strong>{$title}:</strong> {$content}

and still doesnt show

oh wait. mightve figured it out.. not familiar with html sorry one sec

[Parker White]

lol nope.I added this, and still not showing up on profile or cant search for the content

<strong>{$Discord Username}:</strong> {$content}

tried this as "Discord" and "Discord Username".

Sorry, a little confused in what you're attempting to do here. You are modifying the custom formatting for profile and topics. This would not change in the search. In search, it would just display their display name with a link to their profile if a value is found.

Additionally, {$Discord} and {$Discord Username} are not variables so you would not want to use them as such. The name of the field should be put there by simply using {$title} so there is no need to change that.

Yes, using the custom field there that you have setup would perform that. If you aren't doing anything custom with the display of the field on the profile, I would just suggest using the default option as that will give you Title: Value .

You would need to use the member search, you can search custom profile fields.

To explain further here, you woul dnot be using things like you have above. You would always be using {title} and {value} . These are replaced with the actual title (in your case 'Discord Username') and the value they have entered.
