/* To add WooCommerce registration form custom fields. */

function WC_extra_registation_fields() {?>
<p class="form-row form-row-first">
    <label for="reg_role"><?php _e( 'Dealer or Distributor', 'woocommerce' ); ?></label>
    <select class="input-text" name="role" id="reg_role"> 
    <option <?php if ( ! empty( $_POST['role'] ) && $_POST['role'] == 'dealer') esc_attr_e( 'selected' ); ?> value="dealer">Dealer</option> 
    <option <?php if ( ! empty( $_POST['role'] ) && $_POST['role'] == 'distributor') esc_attr_e( 'selected' ); ?> value="distributor">Distributor</option>
    </select> 
</p>

<?php
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_register_form', 'WC_extra_registation_fields');


/* To validate WooCommerce registration form custom fields.  */
function WC_validate_reg_form_fields($username, $email, $validation_errors) {
if (isset($_POST['role']) && empty($_POST['role']) ) {
    $validation_errors->add('role_error', __('Dealer or Distributor is required!', 'woocommerce'));
}

return $validation_errors;
}

add_action('woocommerce_register_post', 'WC_validate_reg_form_fields', 10, 3);


/* To save WooCommerce registration form custom fields. */
function WC_save_registration_form_fields($customer_id) {

//Role field
if (isset($_POST['role'])) {
    update_user_meta($customer_id, 'role', sanitize_text_field($_POST['role']));
}

}

add_action('woocommerce_created_customer', 'WC_save_registration_form_fields');
