The addition in Moin 1.5 of a "logout" button was a big help. However,
set testing has shown that our users are still confused by the
relationships between account creation, login, and setting preferences,
and the fact that some of these are done on the same page. I attempted
to copy the markup from the "main" login/account creation/preferences
page and modifying it to see if I could just get a "New Account
Registration" page, but got nowhere. My goal is to have three completely
separate pages: One for account creation, one for logging in, and one
for setting preferences. I'd prefer not to go into the moin source to
hack it, but probably will, if for nothing else than to add some more
formatting and inline comments to the existing pages. (For example, I
might put fields addressing different topics into a table with cells of
different backgrounds.) However, I'd prefer to do what I can in a way
that doesn't require redoing things when I update to the next version of
Moin. Any suggestions on the best way to proceed? Perhaps I should write
three new macros? If so, where in the moin code should I look to find
where the current prefs/login page is generated--it wasn't clear to me
from looking at the markup for the page exactly where the markup came from.
Thanks,
Ken
