Will we be able to customize the user registration/edit page?

Description

The user registration/edit page is one that I'd really like to customize using panels.

Is there a plan to allow for that?

I'd like to, but the user edit forms are very unusual in terms of typical Drupal workflow, and user_save just makes me weep. So maybe, but it's a significant amount of work. It may take the effort of someone who really wants to see this happen drive it.

Hi there

I need this feature too. Maybe you can direct me, ho to implement this feature?

As far as I can see it is not the same way as /node/%node.

Where shall I start?

To start with, you'll need a user edit form context, which will also require user edit form content type(s) to allow you to move gadgets around on the user edit form.

Because there can be *many* user edit forms I have some concerns about this, but in theory it should be doable. It's not easy, though, so expect this to take awhile and be a little frustrating. I'll happily consider patches, though!

I failed....

I tried about a day to figure out how to move the user edit form in these panels. But except a lot of php errors I did not find a way. Maybe because I did not understand the whole system of delegators, task, arguments and forms.....

I've also spent the better part of the day today trying to get this to work with no luck. In over my head, I'm afraid.

We'd really love to see this functionality. It would go a long way towards getting everything into Panels. As it stands now, we'll need to theme this stuff separately in order to look the same as the Panels-based content, which is kind of a bummer because it means two sets of layouts to maintain. ugh.
