Custom Registration Workflow

Hi Everyone,
I've done a bit of searching and found some information on this, but unfortunately I'm still a bit stuck. Hope you can point me in the right direction.

What I want to do is create a registration form that lives outside of the normal forum.

I've looked at ssi_examples.php which allows you to create login / logout forms, but what I really need is a user registration form.

I'm hoping I can avoid hacking the template / default files and instead just submit the form with the relevant fields completed and allow the user to complete registration as per normal.

What I've looked at so far.
How to use the SMF user system outside of SMF
Custom Profile Fields [nofollow] - Not quite what I'm looking for.
Custom Register form of SMF 1.0 - I kind of need something like this, but i'm not sure how to complete the form validation stage.

Custom Registration and Profile Fields - Editing existing registration flow.

The ultimate goal is to create an A/B test, I want to know if my new registration form performs better than the default SMF 1. I'm trying to simplify user registration and by having the flow on pages outside of the default registration workflow I can get more control over the user experience.

Any advice on how to do this would be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Gavin

OMG your site is off the chain.
Is that all SMF? or are you using something more for the front page?
Sorry I was unable to reply to your post as far the help was concerned but you get a props and a bump.

Hey mate,
No my site is using a couple of different software solutions. In hindsight though I probably could have used SMF to achieve a lot of the functionality I have with far less work, but that's hindsight for you.

Does anyone know how to create a user registration form that lives on a standalone page for SMF?

FYI: I'm not so concerned about spam sign up's since the A/B test will use a javascript redirect to split visitors between variations and I don't expect bots to follow the javascript redirect. So that might simplify things in a way perhaps?

Nobody knows how to create a registration page outside of SMF?

System32Cro:
look, form you can do with two ways:
1. Like SMF (Need refresh page to check data)
2. AJAX Form (No need to refresh to check data)
but here is question: You want take data from example smf table of users and check if name typed in input fields is the same as that in smf table? If you didn't understand me, just a basic question: you want to connect to SMF database so later you can take values from it's tables?
