I'm having an issue with an EE2.11.6 site running Simple Registration 1.5.1.

We have a multi-field registration form on the site (using Simple Registration) and when a user fills in the form (and say they the form produces an error page saying username already taken etc) on reload of the form/registration page it wipes all the form data.

The form script is as follows:

{exp:simple_registration:form 
return='community{if segment_2}/{segment_2}{/if}' 
skip_success_message='y'
name="register"}    

    <div class="unit1 header">
        <h3>{membership_form_title}</h3>{!-- SNIPPET --}
        <p>{membership_form_text}</p>{!-- SNIPPET --}
    </div>

    <ul class="errorTxt"></ul>

    <div class="unit1">
        <div class="unit4">
            <p><label for="firstname"><strong>First name</strong></label></p>
        </div>
        <div class="unit3-4">
            <p><input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" /></p>
        </div>                  
    </div>


    <div class="unit1">
        <div class="unit4">
            <p><label for="lastname"><strong>Last name</strong></label></p>

            <p><input type="text" name="lastname" id="lastname" /></p>

If anyone has any ideas on this it would be a great help!

Many thanks in advance :-)

I think you should try by adding value="" attribute into template tags. So, it will keep your existing data into form as it is.

{exp:simple_registration:form return='community{if segment_2}/{segment_2}{/if}' skip_success_message='y' name="register"}

Ideally it should works if plugin code follows EE standards. But I didn't use this plugin ever.

I suggest you to use Smart Members PRO plugin for Login and Registration. I am biggest fan of this plugin. It gives all necessary things in very simple way which requires to make member section(Login, Registration, Update profile, Forgot password, Reset-profile, Login with Social Media etc). It is the KING of Member section.

  • Hi Harsh, many thanks for feedback on this. Unfortunately the form is not using any form variables in the back end with the SR module (ie. it's a stock form wrapped in SR module tags). I did try it anyway but you inevitably end up with {firstname} {lastname} appearing in the relevant front end field areas. I could opt to use something other than Simple Registration, but the site has some additional plugin implementation that sends the form data off to a NetSuite API, so I'd rather not upset this configuration at this point by changing the module etc. But many thanks once again on this. – Karl Bowers Nov 5 at 12:57
