Customize look and feel of registration page?

Posted by Rory Marinich on January 11, 2009 at 7:53am

Sorry; my original post had an error in the title.

One of the things I've always disliked about Drupal is the look of the registration page. It does its job, but it's not pretty to look at. So, for a production-level site, I've mocked up a different look and feel for the page.

The only problem is, I don't know how to actually build it. How would one go about customizing the registration page? Is there a styling module? Is the code built in? (I haven't seen it if it is.) I'd like to avoid mucking up with the page source, so if there's an easier way around I'd love to know what it is.

The registration "page" is a form

Posted by robertDouglass on January 11, 2009 at 8:43am

<form action="/mixer/htdocs/user/register" accept-charset="UTF-8" method="post" id="user-register">

The important part is the id, user-register.

Once you know that you can:

1. If you don't already have a custom module on your site, make one
2. Add a theme function for this form to your hook_theme in your custom module
3. Write the theme function. It would be function theme_user_register_form($form).
