Hi @l-vanel,
Thank you for registering your question again in this section.

1. Create a migration file in path app\Database\Migrations\AddCustomColumnForUser with the following content:

<?phpnamespaceApp\Database\Migrations;
useCodeIgniter\Database\Migration;
// Add custom column for shieldclass AddCustomColumnForUser extends Migration
{
publicfunctionup()
{
$fields = [
"gender SET('male', 'female', 'bisexual') NULL DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'gender user'",
'first_name' => [
'type' => 'text',
'constraint' => '50',
'null' => TRUE
],
'last_name' => [
'type' => 'VARCHAR',
'constraint' => '50',
'null' => TRUE
],
'avatar' => [
'type' => 'VARCHAR',
'constraint' => '1000',
'null' => TRUE
],
'phone_number' => [
'type' => 'VARCHAR',
'constraint' => '20',
'null' => TRUE
],
'company' => [
'type' => 'VARCHAR',
'constraint' => '100',
'null' => TRUE
],
'description' => [
'type' => 'VARCHAR',
'constraint' => '1200',
'null' => TRUE
],
'code_meli' => [
'type' => 'VARCHAR',
'constraint' => '20',
'null' => TRUE
],
'birth_day date default NULL',
'country' => [
'type' => 'VARCHAR',
'constraint' => '20',
'null' => TRUE
], 'state' => [
'type' => 'VARCHAR',
'constraint' => '20',
'null' => TRUE
],
'city' => [
'type' => 'VARCHAR',
'constraint' => '20',
'null' => TRUE
],
'full_address' => [
'type' => 'VARCHAR',
'constraint' => '400',
'null' => TRUE
],
];
$this->forge->addColumn('users', $fields);
}
publicfunctiondown()
{
$fields = [
'gender',
'first_name',
'last_name',
'company',
'phone_number',
'description',
'code_meli',
'birth_day',
'country',
'state',
'city',
'full_address',
];
$this->forge->dropColumn('users', $fields);
}
}

2 . Execute command php spark migrate to apply changes to the users table.
3. Checking the addition of columns in table users with command php spark db:table users
4. Create file UserModel.php via php spark shield:model with the following content:

<?phpdeclare(strict_types=1);
namespaceApp\Models;
useCodeIgniter\Shield\Models\UserModelasShieldUserModel;
class UserModel extends ShieldUserModel
{
protectedfunctioninitialize(): void
{
parent::initialize();
$this->allowedFields = [
...$this->allowedFields,
'gender',
'first_name',
'last_name',
'avatar',
'phone_number',
'company',
'code_meli',
'birth_day ',
'country',
'state',
'city',
'full_address',
// 'first_name',
];
}
}

6. Edit file app\Config\Auth.php and change as follows:

public string $userProvider = \App\Models\UserModel::class;

end of work.
Now you can use the same methods as in the documentation without any problems.
e.g :

useCodeIgniter\Shield\Entities\User;
$users = model(\App\Models\UserModel::class);
$user = newUser([
'username' => 'foo-bar',
'email' => 'foo.bar@example.com',
'password' => 'secret plain text password',
'first_name' => 'Pooya',
'last_name' => 'Parsa',
]);
$users->save($user);

more info see
I believe we should document this in Part customization documentation.
Also, thank you very much, after checking this issue, I realized that there are bug in the file Session.php , which we will fix in the next few days.

For UUID you can use [this ](https://github.com/michalsn/codeigniter4-uuid).

This is not needed as we already have our UUID implementation in place.

@solomon-ochepa
Thank you for your opinion.

I'm suggesting the migration should be publishable to the app migrations dir and the developer can make all the necessary customization.

That is a reasonable point, but CI4 does not employ such a mechanism.
This is probably largely due to practice in the past of not having to use the CLI.

Making such a change is a big change and requires more agreements on the change.

You can relate this with the "Laravel Roles and Permissions" package.

What do you mean? I don't know what you want to say.

[kenjis]

Can you modify the table?

[CalebArbeau]

 "gender SET('male', 'female', 'bisexual') NULL DEFAULT NULL COMMENT 'gender user'",

None of these are genders lol
especially bisexual

[datamweb]

I just wanted to show an implementation example to demonstrate the structure. Naturally, you should adjust the values based on your own project needs. The ones I used were just placeholders, not meant to define actual genders or orientations.

Thanks for your attention to detail—hope to see that same sharp eye contribute to improving the official docs too!

Your question is how can I save the values of gender, first_name, last_name and ... in the database in addition to email, username and password on the registration page.

[datamweb]

Answer Do the following steps:

1. Add in the view file(Please use the customization of views)

<!-- Gender--><divclass="mb-4"><selectid="gender" class="form-control" name="gender" placeholder="<?= lang('Auth.gender') ?>><option value="male">Male</option><optionvalue="female">Female</option><optionvalue="bisexual">Bisexual</option></select></div><!-- First Name--><divclass="mb-4"><inputtype="text" class="form-control" name="first_name" inputmode="text" autocomplete="first_name" placeholder="<?= lang('Auth.first_name') ?>" value="<?= old('first_name') ?>" required/></div><!-- Last Name--><divclass="mb-4"><inputtype="text" class="form-control" name="last_name" inputmode="text" autocomplete="last_name" placeholder="<?= lang('Auth.last_name') ?>" value="<?= old('last_name') ?>" required/></div>

2. in file app/Config/Auth.php add :

public array $personalFields = ['gender','first_name', 'last_name'];

3. in file app\Config\Validation.php add :

//--------------------------------------------------------------------// Rules//--------------------------------------------------------------------public$registration = [
'username' => [
'required',
'max_length[30]',
'min_length[3]',
'regex_match[/\A[a-zA-Z0-9\.]+\z/]',
'is_unique[users.username]',
],
'email' => 'required|max_length[254]|valid_email|is_unique[auth_identities.secret]',
'gender' => 'in_list[male,female,bisexual]',
'first_name' => 'required|alpha|min_length[3]|max_length[10]',
'last_name' => 'required|alpha|min_length[3]|max_length[15]',
'password' => 'required|strong_password',
'password_confirm' => 'required|matches[password]',
];

Do the same for other fields.

Did I understand your question correctly and was the answer complete?

[l-vanel]

yes it's work. thks
