Customizing the User Form

You have created a customized copy of the user form: Main.UserForm.

A form for new users

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

You have created a custom user form, so you ought to use a custom 'new user' template as well. This will make your changes safe to future Foswiki upgrades.

To create your custom new user template, do this:

• 
  you will return here after saving

• Or create a copy by hand:
  1. Take a copy of System.NewUserTemplate and save it to Main.NewUserTemplate
  2. Set the topic form to your custom UserForm topic
