Introduction

This package provides the registration form and the user profile form. It allows the site administrator to define the fields those forms will display.

Overriding / extending the default schema

Manipulating the user schema through the web

In Plone setup / Users and Groups / Member fields, we can add and modify the user fields using the plone.schemaeditor interface.

Once a new field is added, we can access its settings, and more specifically, we can choose where the field must be shown (in the registration form, in the user profile form, or in both).

The entire schema can be freely modified, but:

• the Fullname and the Email fields cannot be removed nor changed,
• we can only add one Image field (that will be used as the user portrait), and no more.

Defining the user schema in a GenericSetup profile

The user schema can be defined in our GenericSetup profile in a file named userschema.xml.

Its content must be compliant with the plone.supermodel format. Example:

      False
      <title>Birthdate</title>
    
    
      
      False
      <title>Department</title>
      
        <element>Marketing</element>
        <element>Production</element>
        <element>HR</element>

This file can imported or exported using portal_setup.

Note: the userschema.xml importation will automatically refresh the memberdata attributes, so the memberdata_properties.xml file is not needed.

• Fixed critical error on add user page when some groups have a non-ascii character in their title. Sort groups on their title normalized. Token and value in terms in the groups vocabulary were switched. This closes [thomasdesvenain, vincentfretin, davisagli]

1.0.2 - 2010-11-24

1.0b6 - 2010-04-07

• Make the password field optional for the admin when instead an email can be sent. [maurits]
• On the anonymous registration form, do not offer to send an email with a link to reset your password if the password fields are right there on the form already; we were never actually sending emails with the plain password itself anyway. [maurits]
• Allow admins to register a user at all times, also without valid mailhost settings. This means that in a fresh Plone site you can create user accounts immediately without having to edit any settings. [maurits]
