Add extra field in buddypress signup and validate it.

[sharvankumar]

I want to add an extra field which is mandatory for user to enter and I also want to validate it whether it exists in my database or not.
If not then user must not be able to register.

Is there any simple way to implement that.

I know there is an option available to add extra field in buddypress but my problem is to how to validate it with database. because buddypress only provide features or required and not required.

Quick answer, there is not, BuddyPress will only make it a required field. It sounds like this is all you need though.

Are you trying to do something similar to what the wp-invites plugin does?

This needs to be done in a plugin. With the new theme changes in 1.1/trunk, it should be possible.
