How do I edit the fields on the register page where the user inputs their information?

I want to widen the password fields so that they are the same length as the preferred

user information boxes

Hey Sarah,

A couple of thoughts first before I offer a workaround.

We, ideally, would be able to use CSS classes and style definitions in external stylesheets to control the appearance of default DNN....stuff. In this case, there are no CSS classes available.This is technically a limitation of the application that they don't use CSS classes anywhere in this particular form (and there are hardcoded styles).

In general, we don't want to modify the 'DNN Source' (say...to change the markup by adding CSS styles) to preserve a clean upgrade path. However, if you choose to do so, you certainly can. If you do, I would recommend documenting your modifications very well. ;)

On to our workaround:

This isn't probably the best solution in the world, as technically the ID's being used here *could* change. But, without actually going in and modifying the core DNN markup, this is probably your best bet.

I tested this on a clean install of DotNetNuke 5 and it looks a lot better. Your mileage may vary. If you are using a different version of DotNetNuke let me know.

Try adding the following CSS to your Portal.css:

  1. Login as admin
  2. navigate to site settings
  3. expand "style sheet editor" at the bottom
  4. paste in the css style below
  5. click "Save Style Sheet" immediately below.

#dnn_ctr_ManageUsers_User_txtConfirm, #dnn_ctr_ManageUsers_User_txtPassword {width:139px;}
#dnn_ctr_ManageUsers_User_tblPassword td.SubHead {width: 175px;}
#dnn_ctr_ManageUsers_User_tblPassword {padding-left: 3px;}

Hope that helps,

Ian
