| 71 | = Customizing the Registration page = | ||
| 72 | |||
| 73 | You can also customize the way users are registered in your XWiki by creating a ##XWiki.Registration## page which will override the default registration page. | ||
| 74 | |||
| 75 | {{info}} | ||
| 76 | Since 2.2M2 this is done by the Verified Registration Page, part of the [[Administration Application>>extensions:Extension.Administration Application]]. This provides more features such as captcha and client side validation of user input. For more information about how to configure it, visit the application page. | ||
| 77 | {{/info}} | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | If you don't know what to put in the page you can start by copying the content of ##http://yourserver/xwiki/templates/registerinline.vm ## and paste it in your ##XWiki.Registration## page. You'll have to be careful to remove the first test in the template or your registration page will loop forever: | ||

| 81 | {{code language="none"}} | ||
| 82 | #if(!$xwiki.hasAccessLevel("view","XWiki.Registration")||$xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.Registration").isNew()) | ||
| 83 | [...] ## here is the code you want to keep | ||
| 84 | #else | ||
| 85 | $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.Registration").getTranslatedDocument().getRenderedContent() | ||
