additional info on signup - problem
I have added several fields (columns) to the User table in an attempt to gather additional data from users at the time of signup. I would also like to allow users, at signup, to input their Name into the pre-existing 'Name' field. My problem is that, when the signup_form.html is altered to accomodate the text input boxes, an 'Unknown Tag' message appears in the text box (ie. Unknown Tag: 'Name'). Here is an example of the code added to signup_form.html:

Code:
<input name="Name" size="30" value="<%Name%>">


All properties of the user are supposed to be available on this page. I've added fields to the Links table and forms with success, and can't seem to understand why the User table/form is giving me problems. I've searched this Forum without mention of this problem. Any help would be much appreciated!

I think that on the signup form the user is not yet logged in - so the User table is not yet accessible. Try putting <%if Name%><%Name%><%endif%> in place of <%Name%>. Alternatively just leave it out.
