Feedback

Change who are you registering block to three checkboxes, "myself", "On behalf of one or more students", and "both"

Current behaviour

templates/frontend/register-page.php line 74 has a "Who are you registering?" fieldset with a single checkbox: "I'm registering as a parent or guardian, for one or more children". The parsed value is read in src/Auth/RegistrationPage.php around line 470 (Whether the "I'm registering as a parent or guardian" box was ticked), and assets/js/register.js (~line 109) disables/enables fields based on it.

Wanted

Three mutually exclusive options:

Myself
On behalf of one or more students
Both

Behaviour per option:

Myself — no student sub-forms; the account holder is the student.
On behalf of… — student sub-forms shown; the account holder is not booked for.
Both — student sub-forms shown and the account holder is registered as a student too.

Radio buttons are the right control for a mutually exclusive choice even though the feedback says "checkboxes" — confirm with the requester if "both" is meant to be selectable as two ticks instead.

Places to touch

templates/frontend/register-page.php
src/Auth/RegistrationPage.php — parse the three-way value instead of a boolean
assets/js/register.js — show/hide logic
src/BlockPreview.php — editor preview
docs/features/account-registration.md, docs/features/parent-guardian-accounts.md
tests/Unit/Auth/RegistrationPageTest.php
