			<description><![CDATA[We use UserMeta anytime we need more than the core fields—which is almost always. UserMeta is extremely powerful and creates unlimited possibilities. This should be a core plugin, and there should be something similar for content. Then you have native CCK and no need for extra extensions.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[interesting... could I perhaps have info in a field that only that user could see? I.e. each of my customers has a control panel login for their website, could I store that in there?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[UserMeta http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/usermeta/frs/ is a system plugin for Joomla 1.5 to make it easier for users/developers to extend the user parameters. It is very easy to store a new paramter for a user (like GROUP NAME) in the jos_user table. Then, using something like MetaMod, content can be hidden or shown based on those new parameters.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The problem with all these different addons is that they are not always cross compatible. Say you use jfusion / virtuemart / community builder / alpha reg. etc etc... each one has their own login forms, and I have had problems in the past with "cross contamination" to coin a phrase ;-)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Another solution I often use is AlphaRegistrati on (http://www.alphaplug.com/index.php/alpharegistrati on.html), as I like the 1-2-3 graphical steps it displays. After they fire the form (step 1), it will change the graphic to show they are on step 2 and need to validate, for example. Once they click the Joomla validation link, they return to the site and it shows Step 3 completed and can now login (and be redirected, if need be). It, too, has built-in reCAPTCHA and all sorts of cool features. They recently added a couple of custom fields (birthday, gender, etc), so you could always modify these fields and change them to fit your needs. Here (http://www.bidlesstravel.com/component/alpharegistrati on/?task=register) it is in action on one of my sites, if you want to check it out. :P]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Fabrik (http://www.fabrikar.com)rocks! ;-) You can create a totally custom form that will fire a 'joomla user' plugin to populate the joomla user table with the new user and their custom fields. If you wanted to get really fancy, you could even have them enter an address during registration and map their locations on a Googlemap, etc, etc... Data-wise, there is nothing Fabrik can't do (cascading dropdowns, db joins, ajax filtering, etc, etc, etc). ;-)]]></description>
