| 69 | 1.1 Customizing the Registration page | ||
| 70 | |||
| 71 | You can also customize the way users are registered in your XWiki by creating a <tt>XWiki.Registration</tt> page which will override the default registration page. | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | If you don't know what to put in the page you can start by copying the content of <tt>http://yourserver/xwiki/templates/registerinline.vm</tt> and paste it in your <tt>XWiki.Registration</tt> page. You'll have to be careful to remove the first test in the template or your registration page will loop forever: | ||
| 74 | {code:none} | ||
| 75 | #if(!$xwiki.hasAccessLevel("view","XWiki.Registration")||$xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.Registration").isNew()) | ||
| 76 | [...] ## here is the code you want to keep | ||
| 77 | #else | ||
| 78 | $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.Registration").getTranslatedDocument().getRenderedContent() | ||
| 79 | #end | ||
