CB Fields Condition. Only show certain fields when buying/upgrading

Hello Guys,
can you please help me understand how I can show registration fields only when a "basic" user upgrade his subscription or purchase a merchandise plan?

Basically I would like to allow my user to register with just a Username/Password and then ask for additional fields like name, address etc. only when they purchase a plan/merchandise.

Thank you, I tried to figure it out but...

p.s. CB 1.9.1

Edit your Basic subscription within CBSubs > Plans and on the Workflows tab set it to hide your other fields with the "Hides fields at registration" parameter. This handles the registration display. For profile view and profile edit you'll need to use the CBSubs Fields Tabs Protection plugin included with the CBSubs package; for it please see your CBSubs documentation for usage information.

Hi Kyle,
thank you. Does this assume that I assign a subscription to my user in any case, right?

I mean that I cannot have my user just register with CB and then only ask for additional fields to be populated when they indeed buy a subscription or a merchandise plan?

Well if you want to hide fields during registration then you need a plan for Basic users to utilize the "Hides fields at registration" parameter. If you don't show those fields on registration you could just use CBSubs Fields Tabs Protection and not need a plan for Basic users. You also can't request for field data during subscription; they'd need to do that after subscribing by going to profile edit.

Ok, I understand.

I guess it is not possible to "automatically" sign a user to a certain free/lifetime subscription in CBsubs "transparently".

So I register using CB and I am automatically added to a Free CBsubs subscription.

Then, only when I have to purchase a different Plan/merchandise, I am asked for the missing fields?

Thanks again

You could have an exclusive free lifetime plan, but no it won't be very transparent.

Then, only when I have to purchase a different Plan/merchandise, I am asked for the missing fields?

Well you won't be able to ask for the missing fields during purchase. They'd need to go to profile edit and fill them out after subscribing. Currently there's no workflows in CBSubs to ask them to complete some profile fields before or during purchase.
