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 create a custom user form, do this:

• 
  you will return here after saving

• Or create a copy by hand:
  1. Take a copy of this topic and save it to Main.UserForm
  2. When editing your new UserForm topic, change the entries in the data form definition. You may remove all explanation around the table.

A form for new users

If a new user registers, the new user page is prefilled with the contents of Main.NewUserTemplate. That template also contains a user form, based on the form definition in System.UserForm.

You have created a customized copy of the 'new user' template: Main.NewUserTemplate.
