Hey everyone,

I am currently working on a commercial site which will be employing G2
(allthough we are still strongly considering using G1 untill G2 has a stable release).

I would like to know if there which would be the best way to ensure
more information is available about a user (i.e. location, address etc.).
I'm thinking of modifying the gallery registration system, but figured
making my own registration system may be more efficient. I could
then simply create another table in the G2 database to hold the info
i require, and insert the other details in to the existing G2 table.
What I would like to know if there is any documentation on this...

Also, I will be integrating a third party shopping cart into gallery, and
would like to know if there is any documentation or suggestions (short
of writing my own module) on modifying gallery so that I can simply
send the required data from gallery to the cart (i.e. when a user adds
an item to the cart).

Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Thanks,

John

integrating another user management is fairly easy.
see docs/EMBEDDING in your G2 download.
and take a look at the development forum, there are a couple of threads about Embedding and integration.
