[Coursework-help] Re: User Registration

[Leonardo H. <her...@or...>]

I'm running v2.5; I'm self registering and not logged in as any other 
user (I even restarted tomcat to ensure this) and still don't get the 
password field.

Having a look at UserRegistration.dtl...
[[IF EQUAL $ACTION "changeprofile"]]
<TR><TD BGCOLOR="[[$BGLIGHT]]" VALIGN="TOP"><FONT FACE="arial,helvetica" 
SIZE=-1 COLOR="[[$TEXTDARK]]"><B>Contrasena</B></FONT></TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE=PASSWORD NAME=password VALUE="[[$PERSON.FIRSTNAME 
FORMSAFE]]" SIZE=50></FONT></TD></TR>
<TR><TD BGCOLOR="[[$BGLIGHT]]" VALIGN="TOP"><FONT FACE="arial,helvetica" 
SIZE=-1 COLOR="[[$TEXTDARK]]"><B>Confirmar Contrasena</B></FONT></TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE=PASSWORD NAME=confirmpassword VALUE="[[$PERSON.FIRSTNAME 
FORMSAFE]]" SIZE=50></FONT></TD></TR>
[[/IF]]

If I comment the first and the last lines above, then I see the password 
field in the user registration form, but I'm not sure about what 
functionality could be affected by this change.
