Hi,

thanks for this tut!
i was trying to customize my registration page with the technic above but i doesn't work... i'm using a sub-theme of the zen theme.

Any idea?

Thx

I was creating an empty

I was creating an empty page-user-register.tpl.php into my theme directory, and after clearing the theme registry, i see always the registration page instead of a blank page... i suppose it's a side effect of using a sub-theme of the zen theme, cause when i copy the same file in the zen theme i have my blank page...

Hi, Picxelplay. This tutorial

Hi, Picxelplay.
This tutorial is simply great. I have been searching to customize my registration form in the whole past week. I was really tired. But finally you guys provided me this. Thank you very much for this tutorial.

I have one more issue, I want my registration form to be of multiple pages how can I achieve this. Any or all help is greatly appreciated.

Once again thank you very much.

What about the page where you

What about the page where you are brought to after clicking on the link in your email?

E.g., http://site.com/user/reset/$userid/$random-hash?

I can't find out how to create a template for this page. Also, I can't find out how to preprocess this in the theme's template.php. I tried this:


function my_theme_preprocess_user_pass_reset(&$vars) {
$vars['form']['submit']['#value'] = "Lorem Ipsum";
$vars['rendered'] = drupal_render($vars['form']);
}


But doesn't work.

Thanks for the great tutorial!

I'm using ninesixty theme. I have the three page tpl files ready and flush the cache.
I noticed that the neither of the new template files are being used.

Hi,

I've tried using this on a copy of Garland theme, but not having much luck...

I've followed the steps correctly, but possibly it's the flush cache stage? I've been into performance and cleared the cache but still no joy. Is there something else I need to do at this point?

Thanks for your help

Hi, Sorry to bother you

Hi,

Sorry to bother you again, ok... I have possibly a more difficult task that I'm trying to do.

I have a main site i.e. site.co.uk then my drupal blog within a directory of the site site.co.uk/blog I want to keep the existing user pages in tact. i.e. site.co.uk/blog/user

But then from then main site I'm wanting to show a popup to a customised version of site.co.uk/blog/user/register

So I want the popup registration page to look different to the normal blog site registration, is that somehow achievable?

Regards

Shane

Hi, It's all in the same

Hi,

It's all in the same website, drupal is in a sub directory of the site.... such as /blog

so from /index.php I want to bring up a jquery popup window with a small registration form. But keeping the existing form the same.

If that makes any sense?

I was just wondering if that was possibly?

Cheers

Shane

Hey, Firstly, simple and

Hey,

Firstly, simple and great tutorial - thank you. All the others claim to do this but have complicated modifications of template.php only to call the entire page through php anyway - and not allowing real tinkering like here.

For others just to know, I found an issue when using the user/login page in my 'content-tabs' (which are the 3 links up to top of the register page, 'Create New Account' 'Login' and 'Request New Password).

Basically the link to 'Login' still went to /user not /user/login. So I changed the file name you said to make from page-user-login.tpl.php to just page-user.tpl.php and that works great.

Unless there's a side effect I don't know of this works better for me.

Cheers again.

A great tutorial. By the way,

A great tutorial. By the way, I tried also create page-user.tpl.php to override the template of page at /user(default login page). It works for me.

This certainly saved me some

This certainly saved me some time, thanks!

Newb question, though: will setting a URL alias of user -> user/login break anything?

I've set this up on my development box and it seems to work, eg, it reroutes the "Log in" tab's destination from user to user/login which then uses the new page-user-login.tpl.php file directly from user/register page.

I did this because I couldn't figure out why that tab was calling just user instead of user/login as user.module SEEMS to be calling user/login but I might be missing something in my interpretation of the user.module (obviously lol).

Anyways thanks again for any and all help!

Great tutorial. Thank you

Great tutorial. Thank you very much.

Like a previous poster, I also had a problem with the /user path case. Making a 'page-user.tpl.php' solved that problem.

This was important, because I use LoginTobboggan. That module supports a redirect on 'permission denied' messages, and presents the login form if the user doesn't have access to the URL he was trying to visit. Then, on successful login the user is given the page they requested.

There is a wrinkle though. Creating the page-user.tpl.php makes the user account pages use that page template, so the 'my account' page uses the new login page theme.

Is there a way around this?

Thank you for this. I was in

Thank you for this. I was in ripping-out-hair mode trying to implement other tutorials until I got to work on this one. Clean, concise, easy, and flexible. Perfect!

Thanks for this tutorial. It

Thanks for this tutorial. It was a great find and helped me with something I wanted to do. I ended up needing to go with the page-user.tpl.php rather than page-user-login.tpl.php for reasons already discussed above.

This might help others. If you want the login page to look differently than the other pages the user gets after logging in, just add in a conditional php statement around the text you want to appear on the log in page.

if(!$logged_in) {

Text you want to appear on the log in page

}

I tried this technique which

I tried this technique which worked well. In the end though I wanted to have granular control and add additional fields like terms and conditions to the registration form. I ended up writing my own module (first Time) to do this, which is probably the way to go if you want to add additional fields that will need to be validated. This was easier than I thought it would be after following the useful tutorial in the drupal fapi.
