as the title shows: can we add extra fields to the user registration form?

not as core k2 functionality but it is possible and depends on how badly you want it as it means a k2 core hack is required

look at the system plugin for k2 onAfterDispatch and the corresponding db table #__k2_users accommodating your additional fields

Where do i find the system plugin for k2 onAfterDispatch? Sorry, I'm new to k2

Never mind, i find it...it's the event name not the plugin name. K2 is a nice component, the more I'm surprised that not only you can't create custom fields for users, but this one seems to have less use (for me anyway) than the joomla default one. Are you considering to create something like that? I'm sure that's the reason so many people are desperately waiting for joomla 1.6, but that is still far away to be used on production sites.

Yes, is a little complicated task... but is possible, you must install this plugin
"User Extended Fields for K2" and then change the parameters of the plugin in order to add your own fields...
