I recently started my first Drupal 7 project, and one of the things I had to do was theme the user registration form. After doing a bit of searching, I came across several posts on the topic, and none of them were correct. However, thanks to some great suggestions here, I came up with the solution.
The first thing I needed was a custom module, implementing hook_form_FORM_ID_alter():
<?php
function MYMODULE_form_user_register_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
$form['#theme'] = 'user_register';
}
?>This was important, as the user registration form did not have a theme function associated with it. The next step was to implement hook_theme() in my custom template.php:
<?php
function MYTHEME_theme($existing, $type, $theme, $path){
return array(
'user_register' => array(
'render element' => 'form',
'template' => 'templates/user-register',
),
);
}
?>This registers a theme function, defining a named variable and a template file to use.
Next, I implemented a preprocess funtion in template.php, to set up a bunch of variables to output in my template. I do this because I strongly dislike having function calls in my templates; in my opinion, template files should only contain markup and data, not perform any logic or fetch content. A basic version of my preprocess function looks like this:
<?php
function MYTHEME_preprocess_user_register(&$variables) {
$variables['rendered'] = drupal_render_children($variables['form']);
}
?>As you can see, I render the form, and store the rendered output in the $variables array. Lastly, I created a template, named user-register.tpl.php, and it contains all of my themed markup for the user registration form. The template can simply output the $rendered variable where I want:
<div class="some-class"><?php echo $rendered; ?></div>
I like this post very much, You have defined it very simply for so I understand what you say, In this post your writing level is also excellent to us.

Hmm.. Is this real good, to define a theme function in a module, that is implemented in a theme? What happend, if theme doesn't exist, or not used in register page?

Great, thank you so much for your sharing, i find the Mondule_theme function is so usefully ~
i tried this but user edit form submit not works for me if i render fields instead of complete form
When you created the custom module for your user registration form, did you save this module as a separate file with a particular file name? If so, what file name did you use and which directory did you place this file? I'm new to drupal, so there's a huge learning curve for me.
Thanks

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
thank you so much for this very useful post.
cheers!
hi,
Anyone themed drupal-commerce checkout form??
I followed all the steps above to theme that form but no effect.
How i can render form elements individually?
As others have noticed, it's not terribly useful to output the entire form into a variable only to print out the form in one go.
To get more control over the form, render each element individually adding markup as needed:
<?php
print drupal_render($form['form_build_id']);
print drupal_render($form['form_id']);
?>
<?php print drupal_render($form['account']['name']); // prints the username field ?>
<?php print drupal_render($form['account']['mail']); // prints the mail field ?>
<?php print drupal_render($form['submit']); // print the submit button ?>
Set a breakpoint in your IDE to see the values you can render that are held in $form.
You do not print submit button with "print drupal_render($form['submit']);"
The right way in D7 is "print drupal_render($form['actions']['submit']);"
Thanks a lot for this. Very clear, very useful, and it works. All other tutorials were for Drupal 6.
Thanks Brother...it works.

You can ignore all the instruction above and below, copy page.tpl.php to page--user--register.tpl.php on the base folder of your theme, and edit away... much simpler!
You have to save the template to [your theme name]/templates/user-register.tpl.php
it work but how to submit that form , If i don't don't use <?php echo $rendered; ?>
validation is not working.
Thax
in your template.php you can add
function [YOUR-TEMPLATE-NAME]_form_user_register_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
$form['#theme'] = 'user_register';
}
if you do this you don't need a extra module ;-)
I implemented your solution above and its work
thanks
Hi, Thank you for this explanation on what seems to be a thinly documented customization.
I implemented your solution above but have run into a very confusing issue. Form some reason, the user/register page does not pick up the user-register.tpl.php template...
The Module is operating (if I break the syntax the user/register page does not render)...
If there is anything you could suggest for how I troubleshoot this I would be forever grateful.
Thanks and again for a clear and needed tutorial.
Cheers,
Nick
ok, but how to change markup?
i want to remove default classes provided with standart drupal's contact form and replace it by my own classes.
i searched a lot, but cannot find any solution.
Your tutorial is very helpful and I have managed to set up the user-register.tpl.php.
So what I would like to do now is theme the page but I don't want to use all the classes that <?php print $rendered ?> outputs. I would also like to be able to re-arrange the elements of the form and change some of the labels that the form elements have. Then, finally, be able to properly submit the form.
How can I achieve this?
