When my users register i want them to see a text that asks them to sign up with their real names. Its not possible to add a html module to the registration page. So how can i add the text?

I dont mind editing the ascx file, i can do it without messing things up. I just dont know where to find these files. But if there is a better way?

What you need to do is create a custom Login Page and a custom Registration Page. We have some tutorials on this process.

If you need to dramatically change either of these, I'd recommend using Dynamic Login from Data Springs or one of the other available modules. I don't recommend editing files that are part of DotNetNuke, as that will make it difficult for you to upgrade.

1.Thank you! This is good to know. However it seems to me that the tutorial covers how to add profile properties. I dont need to do that. What i need is to just display a warning text when the students sign up:

"Please use your real name to register. The same name that you have stated when registered for the dance classes. This is to make it possible for us to give you the best support possible."

Im not sure the Manage Profile Properties will do that.

2. Is it possible to make the list with users int the admin "User Accounts" show more then 10 users at a time? Id love to have a hundred users listed.

The Login module and the Registration module are really one module.

So, if you create a custom login page and place a copy of the Login module there, that's also where the Registration module is.

I would:
1. Create a custom login page
2. Place a copy of the Login module on the page
3. Place HTML module(s) for other content that you want on the page.
4. Specify this page as the Login and Registration pages on the Site Settings page

Ive tried this. It works tp create a new page and add the log in module. I then add a html module to that page, write my message and make that page The login page.
Its not possible to do the same with register as there is no register module. Log in and Register seems top be different modules.
When i go to the register page, i cannot add modules. And as i said, when i create a custom page i cant find the register module to add.
The html module i added to the Log in page does not appear when registering.

I use DNN 5.2.

Hi Joseph, I've been thinking about having custom registration and login pages myself, so ran a test on a child portal according to your instructions to lautaro. The login page is fine when cllicking the Logon link but the registration page still shows the login module not the registration module. I'm assuming that the Login module should display as the Registration module when clicking the Registration link?

This is what i also thought. It seems that the Custom Log in page sends user to the default registration page.

I misspoke.

For the Custom Registration page, you need to add the Users and Roles module.

Then you will see that several modules are added to the page. Remove the modules other than the one labelled Add New User. When logged out, this one will become the Registration module.

I have no such module available. The only related module that is available is
Account Login

Im using DNN 5.2

Hi lautaro, not all modules are installed by defaut. Go to Host > Extensions, scroll down to the bottom and click Install Available Extensions, tick Users and Roles and click Install Selected Extensions.

Thanks for the reply but this is where it gets really sad.
I have installed all available extensions except

Documents (04.01.00)
Reports (05.01.00)
XML (04.03.05)
And
ActiveDirectory (05.00.02)

Im beginning to think that there is something wrong with my install.
When i go to the registration page and click on settings on the registration module i can see that the name of the module is "Users and Roles". But i cannot find this module when i go through the DDmenu when adding modules to the page.

Why oh, why!!??

Hi Joseph, thanks, that did the trick! Mind you, felt a bit stupid as I knew it was the Users and Roles module the moment I saw it on the page! It's just difficult to relate it to Registration.

Hi lautaro, is the portal a child portal perhaps? If so, the Users and Roles module may need to made accessible to it. Log in as Host then go to Admin > Site Settings, expand Advanced Settings and then expand Host Settings, under Premium Modules/Available Modules add Users and Roles to Selected Modules.

Well this is the sad part. Users and Security IS installed. I see it in the list of installed modules. But i cant find it in the drop down menu when adding modules!!!
The only extensions availabel for install
Documents (04.01.00) Reports (05.01.00) XML (04.03.05)

All others are allready installed.

It is likely that the Users and Roles module is not assigned to the list of modules that can be installed in your portal. This is a security issue because this module, if installed and made available to all users could give them privileges to create and delete users. You will want to look at these tutorials:

# How to Limit Modules Available in the Control Panel (Premium Modules)
# How to Configure Which Modules Non-Administrators Can Add to a Page


You will need to login as a Super User to make a module available.

Sorry about the 7 identical replies. From my end it looked like they werent posted so i kept trying.

So i managaed to add access to the User and Security module, throug the sites Site Settings in the HOST OPTIONS. But my site is still not a childportal.
Now i fixed it. Thank you everyone!

Glad you managed to sort it out, lautaro.

Hi all
I see this topic today.
There is a easier way. you can change the value of publicMembership.Text in sharedresource.resx to what you want your users know.
this value will be displayed in top of registration form.
