I need to implement some custom code-level and database-level changes in my Discourse Rails application to meet my specific requirements. Additional Fields in User Registration I need to add extra fields in the Sign-Up form for user registration. These fields should be manageable using the existing custom fields feature in the Discourse application. Update Password Encryption Method Currently, Discourse uses “PBKDF2” for password encryption. As per my requirement, I need to switch to “MD5” instead of “PBKDF2”. I needs to create some API’s to call my another application. when create new user then I need to add that user to my discourse application Please assist me with the implementation details and necessary code changes.

[image] Gambhir Makwana: Additional Fields in User Registration So go ahead and add the user custom fields through the UX? [image] Gambhir Makwana: Update Password Encryption Method That’s going to be a challenge since you don’t seem familiar with Rails or Discourse plugins. It does appear that there are hooks for alternate encryption methods, but I’m not quite sure just how easy it’lll be to add another and override the default on in a plugin without some pretty good insight into how Rails and Discourse allow for such overrides. app/models/user.rb main deprecate_column :flag_level, drop_from: "3.2" [image] Gambhir Makwana: I needs to create some API’s to call my another application. when create new user then I need to add that user to my discourse application You and probably do that with webhooks through the UX.

I’m going to close this off so it doesn’t pick up any more replies while you split the issues into separate topics. :+1:
