This example form will register a user and do the following:

  • Only work if the 'registerbtn' POST value is sent (via the register submit button)
  • Assign them to the User Groups "Marketing" and "Research"
  • Send an activation email with the content in the myActivationEmailTpl (shown at the bottom of this page) and the subject line "Thanks for Registering!"
  • Redirect the User to the Resource with ID 45 after the email is sent
  • Prefix all Register placeholders with "reg."
