Customizing the User Form

If you want to change the user form, you would first want to make a copy of this form to the Main Web. That ensures your changes stay intact after a Foswiki update.

To make a copy, follow these steps:

ALERT! Note that your form changes will only be visible in a user topic after it has been saved.
ALERT! Please keep the UserRegistration form and this form definition in sync. When you update this form you need to edit/save the NewUserTemplate topic. This ensures that the fields are in the right order.

A form for new users

To use your new user form for new (registering) users, create a copy of Main.NewUserTemplate.
