Hi,
I have a problem with adding new field in customer create account form. Field shows properly in admin panel add new customer form, but not in frontend create account. I created module like this:

MyModules\CustomerMarketingFields\Setup\InstallData.php

<?php
namespace MyModules\CustomerMarketingFields\Setup;
use Magento\Framework\Module\Setup\Migration;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;
class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
{
    /**
     * Customer setup factory
     *
     * @var \Magento\Customer\Setup\CustomerSetupFactory
     */
    private $customerSetupFactory;
    /**
     * Init
     *
     * @param \Magento\Customer\Setup\CustomerSetupFactory $customerSetupFactory
     */
    public function __construct(\Magento\Customer\Setup\CustomerSetupFactory $customerSetupFactory)
    {
        $this->customerSetupFactory = $customerSetupFactory;
    }
    /**
     * Installs DB schema for a module
     *
     * @param ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup
     * @param ModuleContextInterface $context
     * @return void
     */
    public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
    {
    $installer = $setup;
    $installer->startSetup();
    $customerSetup = $this->customerSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);
    $entityTypeId = $customerSetup->getEntityTypeId(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY);

    $customerSetup->addAttribute(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY, "regulation",  array(
        "type"     => "int",
        "backend"  => "",
        "label"    => "Regulation",
        "input"    => "boolean",
        "source"   => 'Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\Source\Boolean',
        "visible"  => true,
        "required" => true,
        "default" => "",
        "frontend" => "",
        "unique"     => false,
        "note"       => ""

    ));

    $regulation   = $customerSetup->getAttribute(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY, "regulation");

    $regulation = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getAttribute(\Magento\Customer\Model\Customer::ENTITY, 'regulation');
    $used_in_forms[]="adminhtml_customer";
    $used_in_forms[]="checkout_register";
    $used_in_forms[]="customer_account_create";
    $used_in_forms[]="customer_account_edit";
    $used_in_forms[]="adminhtml_checkout";
    $regulation->setData("used_in_forms", $used_in_forms)
        ->setData("is_used_for_customer_segment", true)
        ->setData("is_system", 0)
        ->setData("is_user_defined", 1)
        ->setData("is_visible", 1)
        ->setData("sort_order", 100);
    $regulation->save();

    $installer->endSetup();
}

}

MyModules\CustomerMarketingFields\View\Frontend\layout\customer_account_create.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?><page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" layout="1column" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">

    </referenceContainer>

MyModules\CustomerMarketingFields\View\Frontend\templates\additionalinfocustomer.phtml

<fieldset class="fieldset create account" data-hasrequired="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */
echo __('* Required Fields') ?>">
    <legend class="legend"><span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */
            echo __('Additional Information') ?></span></legend>

<p>
<div class="field regulation required">
    <label for="regulation" class="label"><span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */
            echo __('Regulation') ?></span></label>
    <div class="control">
        <input type="checkbox" checked name="regulation" id="regulation" title="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */
        echo __('Regulation') ?>" class="input-text" data-validate="{required:true}">
    </div>
</div>
</p></fieldset>

Files module.xml and registration.php are not included here. Could anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank You in advance.

Is the MyModules\CustomerMarketingFields\View\Frontend\templates\additionalinfocustomer.phtml file executed by the PHP interpreter?

3

No it isn’t.

4

Is your module loaded by Magento?

5

Yes, field in admin panel create customer form is properly added.

6

Your MyModules\CustomerMarketingFields\View\Frontend\layout\customer_account_create.xml path is wrong:
view and frontend folder names should be lowercased.
