help needed creating an advanced and basic user registration page override.

the simplest way of doing it is to follow these steps:

1. Logout, go to your current (advanced) registration page and in your browser select VIEW SOURCE
2. Copy the HTML of the form into a text editor like notepad or pspad
3. Copy the HTML into a new file and strip it down to your BASIC registration form
4. Create a new Drupal page...paste in the HTML and with path.module enabled, give it a URL alias of something like basic_reg. Insert a php snippet before the form to make sure the user isn't logged in already and has stumbled across the form by accident...e.g.
   

   <? php
    global $user;
   if (!$user->uid) {
   ?> // if the user isn't logged in
   Your HTML Form goes Here
   <?php } ?>
   

   Remember to select PHP as the Input Filter before submitting your page

5. repeat the process for the advanced reg page
6. Use a snippet from the handbook section by Dublin Drupaller to override your drupal login form to point to your advanced/basic forms..

hope that helps.

changing post title to be more descriptive.

I see. You need to setup your advanced registration first...the simplest way is to:

1. Enable the profile module under SITE BUILDING -> MODULES
2. go to USER MANAGEMENT -> PROFILES and click on add new field
3. When adding new fields, select "Visible in user registration form." and for BASIC registration fields, mark as REQUIRED
4. Once you're done with your advanced user registration form, you can follow the steps I posted earlier to seperate out the HTML by logging out and going to your REGISTER page

Strongly recommend you have a look at the Getting Started section of the handbook...your questions are already answered in the handbook and what the Getting Started handbook section helps is with knowing where to look for specific things. You could use Search, but, if you know what area of Drupal you are working with (in your case the User Management side of Drupal) you would be able to zoom into that information in the handbook if you have gone through the Getting Started section.

In other words, the Getting Started section of the handbook gives you a good overview of how drupal works and a better understanding of how to do things and where to look for help on specifics.
