Adding fields from Profile to the registration form

Sometimes you may need to add some fields from Profile to the registration form and this article will help you.

Override the registration form model

Let's start with overriding the registration form model:

namespace app\models;

use dektrium\user\models\Profile;
use dektrium\user\models\RegistrationForm as BaseRegistrationForm;
use dektrium\user\models\User;

class RegistrationForm extends BaseRegistrationForm
{
    /**
     * Add a new field
     * @var string
     */
    public $name;

    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        $rules = parent::rules();
        $rules[] = ['name', 'required'];
        $rules[] = ['name', 'string', 'max' => 255];
        return $rules;
    }

    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function attributeLabels()
    {
        $labels = parent::attributeLabels();
        $labels['name'] = \Yii::t('user', 'Name');
        return $labels;
    }

    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function loadAttributes(User $user)
    {
        // here is the magic happens
        $user->setAttributes([
            'email'    => $this->email,
            'username' => $this->username,
            'password' => $this->password,
        ]);
        /** @var Profile $profile */
        $profile = \Yii::createObject(Profile::className());
        $profile->setAttributes([
            'name' => $this->name,
        ]);
        $user->setProfile($profile);
    }
}

Overriding the registration form view

Last thing you need to do is overriding the registration form view:

<?php
use yii\helpers\Html;
use yii\widgets\ActiveForm;

/**
 * @var yii\web\View              $this
 * @var yii\widgets\ActiveForm    $form
 * @var dektrium\user\models\User $user
 */

$this->title = Yii::t('user', 'Sign up');
$this->params['breadcrumbs'][] = $this->title;
?>
<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-4 col-md-offset-4">
        <div class="panel panel-default">
            <div class="panel-heading">
            <h3 class="panel-title"><?= Html::encode($this->title) ?></h3>
            </div>
            <div class="panel-body">
                <?php $form = ActiveForm::begin([
                    'id' => 'registration-form',
                ]); ?>
                
                <?= $form->field($model, 'name') ?>
                
                <?= $form->field($model, 'email') ?>

                <?= $form->field($model, 'username') ?>

                <?= $form->field($model, 'password')->passwordInput() ?>

                <?= Html::submitButton(Yii::t('user', 'Sign up'), ['class' => 'btn btn-success btn-block']) ?>

                <?php ActiveForm::end(); ?>
            </div>
        </div>
        <p class="text-center">
            <?= Html::a(Yii::t('user', 'Already registered? Sign in!'), ['/user/security/login']) ?>
        </p>
    </div>
</div>
