Description

It would be great to be able to code a 'signup.php' in your theme's directory to more easily integrate the signup form into your theme. i.e.: 

<?php get_header(); ?>
 
   <div class="signup">
      <?php the_signupform(); ?>
   </div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Maybe you're thinking the function show_blog_form?

Actually, they're suggesting that it would be nice to be able to create your own theme templates for the sign-up forms.

Drop a signup.php file into your theme, and then it could be used for the registration instead of a default kubrick kind of layout.

Essentially, the template controls everything above/below the blog form(s), and you don't have to go hacking away at the sign up (or activation) files.

Why not just add the needed class and id to whatever theme you've chosen for the main page? It's already going to pull in whatever header or footer of the theme you've chosen, but it's wrapped in <div id="content" class="widecolumn">. Just add that id & class to your chosen theme's stylesheet and style it however you want.

Unfortunately the default formatting of the form means it's not all that flexible/simple to style using CSS, otherwise I'd agree with that. Being locked into a table makes it kind of ugly to style.

If the default styling was done in a more flexible manner, with lots of CSS hooks (divs etc, perhaps with the form as a UL/OL and a series of LI items) then that would probably be enough for 90% of people's desires - making it completely templatable would go that last 10% (but would also require people making templates to build a fair amount of logic into their template which is less good).

In my opinion, the registration process is too complex to allow its integration into a theme.

I think that developers who work with WPmu are able to replicate the functions and logic in a custom template

So the default page enough?

I agree momo360modena, I think with the changes in #482 applied, we have enough flexibility to style it enough using CSS.

The new CSS register page is more flexible.

No need to more !
