Question

I have 2 questions:

1. When a TWiki User registers, the registration information is displayed on the user's page. Instead of "comments" for the last field, I want to use "projects." I was able to change the field title for the registration page, but once the user is created, the user's page still displays the field title as "comments." How can I change the user page to disply "projects" instead of "comments?"

2. Is there is a TWiki variable that will retrieve a user's email address (the email address that the user registered with)? I want to display user's email address on another page, but I do not know what variable to call to have the email address displayed.

Answer

1. Edit the registration topic and read the IMPORTANT NOTE in the HTML comment. In your case change the name of the form field from name="Twk0Comment" to name="Twk0Projects"

2. Use a FormattedSearch. Edit this example to see how your e-mail address gets extracted from your home page:
