Steps
The registration Page is the form people fill in to create their own account, and user administration governs what it says and what it demands. To customize it:
- Open the wiki administration and go to "Users & Rights" > "Registration".
- Set "Use email Verification" to "Yes" if a new account must confirm its email address before it can be used, and write the message it receives in "Validation email Content", together with "Confirmation email Content" for the one that follows the activation.
- Write the "Registration page heading" and the "Welcome message" that introduce the form.
- Choose what registering demands and what follows it, with "Enable login button", "Enable automatic login", "Redirect here after registration", "Require CAPTCHA to register" and "Registration Successful Message".
- Click "Save", at the very bottom of the section.
- Notice that the registration Page now opens with your heading and welcome message.
FAQ
Where is the registration Page?
It is the XWiki.Registration Page of the wiki, and the section above configures it without editing it.
Do these texts appear in the administration's "Create user" form too?
No. That form reuses the fields of the registration Page, but not its heading and its messages.
Does email verification need anything else?
A working mail server: without it the validation email is never sent and the account stays inactive. It is configured in the "Mail" administration section, documented on the Mail Application page.
Can I add a field to the form?
Not from this section, which covers the texts and the rules only. A new field means editing the XWiki.Registration Page itself.
