Customize AddUser form and Amazon Recommendations

Hi,

I installed the plugin and event User Self-Registration but I cant customize it. Where should this be done? I want the change the font and put the text and fields in a table. Does anyone know where this can be changed?

Secondary I installed the Amazon Recommendations plugin and registered to this service. I would like to customize the text a little and put the covers on my site. I believe that the plugin creates images per book in the uploads folder but these are not showed in the sidebar. Is there something documented about this plugin or does anyone has experience with this plugin?

Thank you,
Janine Ringers

Changing the font can be done using the template's style.css. An URI to your blog would be nice so we could provide the necessary code. Now, changing the output code for that particular plugin would require to modify the plugin itself, which would be overwritten in future updates. Unfortunately, the plugin does not provide a .tpl file, so there's not much you can do about it.

"Customize the text" can probably be done using CSS. Again, an URI to your blog ... as far as the actual feature of the plugin are concerned, I'm out. I've never used it myself.

Thanks,

The font can be changed by changing the body class.

The layout can be changed in serendipity_plugin_adduser / common.inc.php.

Here I added a table to structure the labels and fields of the form!

You do know that this will be overwritten if the plugins is updated, right?
