Dominik Pich	Monday 12 January 2004 6:32:14 am I need to modify the registration form and how it is processed as I: a) want to change its layout b) want to expand the signup form. You can either register a username OR an advanced name requiring email-notification.
Eirik Alfstad Johansen	Monday 12 January 2004 6:48:38 am Hi Domink, Chaning the layout of the shop registration form is as easy as creating an override template for shop/register.tpl. However, this also calls for changes (in most cases) to the underlying code, and I have yet to find a better way to accomplish this than to edit the kernel/shop/register.php file itsself. That's not recommended, though, for upgrade reasons. I belive someone mentioned something about maintaining a patch (I belive it was Paul) and that might be a better way to go.

Dominik Pich	Tuesday 13 January 2004 3:38:20 am Hi, changing the appearance is no problem then but it uses a loop to display the input boxes. Even if I kept them, how could I add values!? Anyways, I also would like to CHANGE existing input fields. --> How do I change the processing of the form?

I need to modify the registration form and how it is processed as I:

a) want to change its layout
b) want to expand the signup form. You can either register a username OR an advanced name requiring email-notification.

Hi Domink,

Chaning the layout of the shop registration form is as easy as creating an override template for shop/register.tpl. However, this also calls for changes (in most cases) to the underlying code, and I have yet to find a better way to accomplish this than to edit the kernel/shop/register.php file itsself. That's not recommended, though, for upgrade reasons.

I belive someone mentioned something about maintaining a patch (I belive it was Paul) and that might be a better way to go.
