Is it possible to add Extra Fields Under Create User in Liferay

Question

I am using Liferay 6 for portal Development . During Creating Users under Liferay , i need to add some extra Fields also ?? Please let me know if this is ppossible or not ??

Answer 1

Just in case somebody try to retrieve the values from the custom fields and is having problems with null values returned by the method user.getExpandoBridge().getAttribute("yourCustomFieldKey") (even when you followed the threads about permissions), I found other way to retrieve the Custom Fields values:

ExpandoTable table = ExpandoTableLocalServiceUtil.getDefaultTable(user.getCompanyId(), User.class.getName() );
ExpandoColumn column = ExpandoColumnLocalServiceUtil.getColumn(table.getTableId(), "yourCustomFieldKey");
ExpandoValue expandoValue = ExpandoValueLocalServiceUtil.getValue(table.getTableId(), column.getColumnId(), user.getUserId());

Then you can do a simple (if the field is text) expandoValue.getString();

Not so pretty, but do the work.
