I needed to extremely customize how normal users (except for Administrators) use the User Accounts module. So, I have created a custom User Account module.

What I now need is, that whenever 'User' Skin object is clicked (that allows Authenticated Users to manage their profile, or Register otherwise), my Module is displayed for managing Profile. However, Administrators continue to access core DNN Accounts Module via Admin Menu (however, the Skin User control should also take them to the custom Module).

I suspect that all I need to do is to Change a link somewhere, that direct to my module instead of DNN Core module on clicking the Skin Object. I believe that I can change this link by implementing IUpgradeable.

Which link would I need to change, and would it be suitable to do it in IUpgradable, when the Module gets installed??

Accepted Answer 

To make the Register/UserName link go to a page with your custom user accounts module, first create a page and put your custom module on it, then go to

Admin Menu -> Site Settings Then down to Advanced Settings and in the Page Management section change User Page to the page you created with your custom module.

If I understand what you want to do correctly, that should do it. I have that set up for a couple of my sites that needed different information on registration.

There are 2 points more here I would like to know:

1) Would this also lead the "Register" link on Logi page go to my module.

2) Would "User Accounts" in Admin Menu then lead to my page, when I add or edit an account, or would it still lead to core DNN module (I want the User Account in Admin menu to remain associated with core DNN odule)?

1) Yes.

2) It would still lead to the DNN User Accounts tool.

Thanx!!! Without that help, I would have looked to modify the User Skin object in some way to Navigate to my module, and that would have been quite troublesome!!!
