Question

I want to add an extra attribute to my parse SignUp function. My code is like

signUp: function(e) {
  var self = this;
  var username = this.$("#signup-username").val();
  var password = this.$("#signup-password").val();
  var sex=this.$("#signup-sex").val();
  Parse.User.signUp(username, password, sex, { ACL: new Parse.ACL() }, {
    success: function(user) {
      new ManageTodosView();
      self.undelegateEvents();
      delete self;
    }

If I pass only username and password, it works and adds a user to database.

Answer 1

The documentation shows only 4 arguments for the Parse.User.signUp function: http://www.parse.com/docs/js/symbols/Parse.User.html#signUp

My guess is this will do the trick:

signUp: function (e) {
    var self = this;
    var username = this.$("#signup-username").val();
    var password = this.$("#signup-password").val();
    var sex = this.$("#signup-sex").val();
    var otherAttribute = 'test';
    Parse.User.signUp(username, password, {
        sex: sex,
        newAttribute: otherAttribute,
        ACL: new Parse.ACL()
    }, {
        success: function (user) {
            new ManageTodosView();
            self.undelegateEvents();
            delete self;
        }
    }
}
