Is there a way to add custom text to the top of the Signup form?
In the area it says, "Create a New Account". I would like to have a paragraph of text explaining who I would like to be registering an account and who should not be registering an account.

I was thinking there might be a way to do this in the form designer, but I just checked and there is not. Right now you'd have to customer the header.tpl and "watch" for the /user/signup URL and put your note in.

I'm going to look into adding a "note" type ion the Form Designer though, as I could see that being useful.

Hope this helps!

Another way to work around this would be for me to create a page that is displayed before the actual signup form. I have create a page called Sign Up and on that page is the text I want. At the bottom of the page is a link that says click here to register.

Now I have gone to edit the index.tpl file trying to modify the url. For some reason it isn't changing the link. I have a check mark in the active box.

User Accounts / index.tpl / line 86 has been changed to
<br><a href="http://kccomedy.osjam.com/admin/page/3">{jrCore_lang module="jrUser" id=111 default="Click Here to Create an Account"}</a>


Is that the only location of the "Create Account" url? I have searched for the string and that was the only location I had found.

I found the template in the Skin. I have made a custom Signup Alert Page that users see before they actually register.

Just a note that the latest Core (5.2.28) now has support for a "Notice" custom form field type, so you can do it that way now.

Hope this helps!

HTML doesn't seem to work. I tried adding a img and also line breaks.

Yeah HTML is likely not going to work - I can look into that for a future release though.

Hope this helps!

No problem - this shouldn't be hard to add.
