Question

I've customized my registration process to querry contact info and a basic bio and dump that into the UserForm for each new user topic as well as into the topic content. I get the variables into the form using URLPARAM and then into the topic using FORMFIELD. Problem is: only the optional reg variables (Twk0) are being imported, while required varaibles (Twk1) are not. How can I get these variables (name, email) into the form?

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

This is a current limitation of the registration process, it is assumed that the e-mail address should not be listed in the user's homepage. This assumption is wrong for a typical behind firewall use of TWiki. This needs to be fixed.

As a hacky workaround you could duplicate the e-mail and name fields.
