Question

I wanted to customize UserForm, so I looked at TWiki.UserForm, and I followed these instructions:

This form defines the form of the home pages of registered TWiki users listed in TWikiUsers. Do not edit this topic - if you want to customise the user form, then:

   1. Take a copy of this topic and save it to Main.UserForm
   2. Customise Main.UserForm
   3. Take a copy of NewUserTemplate and save it to Main.NewUserTemplate
   4. Modify Main.NewUserTemplate and change the form to select your new user form.

So far so good, my problem now is that TWiki.TWikiRegistration still uses TWiki.UserForm and not my customized Main.UserForm, so when a new user registers the default form is used instead of mine.

What is the correct procedure to get my Main.Userform used during the registration process?

Also having problems related to this and BulkRegistration.

It's my understanding, that when you follow the procedures for customizing Main.UserForm and then selecting the new Main.UserForm to be included in your new Main.NewUserTemplate that the TWIki.UserForm and TWiki.NewUserTemplate are no longer used for new registrations, being over-ridden by your customized forms in your Main web.

This is not the case, however, as seen when trying to create a BulkRegistration table for processing. You get errors related to using undefined values in an ARRAY.

For example, I changed FirstName and LastName to be ClanTag and GameName, and when using those values as headers in UnProcessedRegistrations the error pops up. I know I've customized the forms correctly because when users register themselves everything works properly.

This leads me to believe that the BulkRegistration script responsible for parsing the table is hard coded to use the default fields for FirstName and LastName, but given that users are freely able to customise their registration forms, shouldn't BulkRegistration also be coded to use the fields defined in Main.UserForm?
