Posting Custom Customer Registration Values to Database

[mary_ondire]

Hi,

I have one custom attribute (called 'skype') on my customer registration page, achieved through installing magento's customer attributes extension on my admin panel.I also have this attribute on my database under the table called (customer_entity).But on saving the customer's details, i have noticed that there is no value saved on my 'skype' field but the rest are okay.

I have done some research and i'm aware that function execute on CreatePost Controller does action create,so my question is how can i include my skype value to be saved alongside the other registration details in that function ('execute')?

Hello @mary_ondire 

basically while create attribute you need to specify on which form do you want to show that attribute

$attribute = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getAttribute(Customer::ENTITY, 'mobile_number')
              ->addData([
                  'attribute_set_id' => $attributeSetId,
                  'attribute_group_id' => $attributeGroupId,
                  'used_in_forms' => ['adminhtml_customer', 'customer_account_create'],
              ]);

hope it will work for you.

Hi @PankajS_Magento 

Thanks, your method works.When i edit a cutomer's profile on the admin panel it does fetch the skype value. I did add a column on my customer_entity table called 'skype' but it seems like the skype value is not being saved there. So a quick question, in which table is the skype value being stored?

Hi @Sunil Patel 

Indeed that creates the attribute on various customer tables which is okay. Question is, how can we save the attribute's value in the customer_entity table when a customer registers?

Regards.

Hello @mary_ondire 

I am a little bit confused why you created column into customer_entity.

If you are creating attribute using customer_entity then you need to create static attribute.
