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:
- By hand:
- Take a copy of this topic and save it to Main.UserForm
- When editing your new UserForm topic, change the entries in the data form definition. You may remove all explanation around the table.
- Automatically:
you will return here after saving
Note that your form changes will only be visible in a user topic after it has been saved.
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.
- By hand:
- Take a copy of System.NewUserTemplate and save it to Main.NewUserTemplate
- Set the topic form to your custom Main.UserForm topic
- Automatically:
you will return here after saving
