Custom User Registration form in drupal

Question

I'm developing website in drupal using version6 and i'm newbie in drupal. I need to customize user registration form and need to show different different fields as per role. I will define three roles for user like student is weather Student,Staff,Alumni. SO fields will also be different as per role. I used profile module but it doesn't work for me. So please help me out

Answer 1

You'll need to use the Content Profile module to achieve this in Drupal 6.

Content profile module has built-in support for custom forms per role (from the module description page):

Content profiles can be restricted to certain roles; the module also supports separate content profiles for different roles.

There is a small learning curve, but the module's documentation should be enough to get you started.

There is also a related Drupal Group dedicated to storing profiles as nodes.
