Hi.

I'm facing quite a problem. I need to customize the Register control layout in the following manner:

1. Instead of one column, the controls (FirstName, LastName, Email, etc) need to be shown on two colums
2. Following the same layout a dropdown, a radio button group and some extra textboxes need to be added

Up until now I've reached to the admin/Users/user.ascx control and it's DataBind method, and from here to the PropertyEditorControl's DataBind, and I saw that here is built a table.

So, the only solution I see at this moment is to modify the PropertyEditorControl's method, but I think this must be the last resort because surely this control is used in lots of places, and I also saw recommendations that core modules should not be modified. And for 2. I see only adding them insedie user.ascx following the EditUser PropertyEditorControl.

Or, should a new custom Register control be created?? Would be hard to integrate it?

If someone has a better ideea, please share it with me...

Also, since I am here, generally speaking, when you have to modify existent modules (e.g. Forum module - I have to customize it also), what's the best practice, because I imagine that the developer which is extending DNN should change as less as he can of the core functionality of the DNN.

Many thanks guys

Hi.

Thanks for the quick answer.

Steps 2 and 3 are not that clear to me.

2. Copy the already existent admin/users/manageusers.aspx?? Where to copy it ? In DesktopModules, where the newly created module is?

3.How can a module (added into a page) be shown instead of the usual Registration page after the user presses Register - we get to changing core code again.

Please provide little more details if you can.

Is quite possible that I'm missing something here, I'm quite new to DNN.

Thanks again

Got it.

Is working exactly the way you said

Many thanks and happy coding.
