Customize profile form

[Mte90]

I have for normal users (no admin) in a project with PermissionManager that the field name is duplicated but I can't find documentation on how to change that form.

To customize the profile form for normal users in a project using PermissionManager where the name field is duplicated, you can follow these steps:

1. Create a custom RegisterController by overriding the default one provided by Backpack.

2. In your AppServiceProvider, bind your custom RegisterController to override the default one:

$this->app->bind(
    \Backpack\CRUD\app\Http\Controllers\Auth\RegisterController::class,
    \App\Http\Controllers\Admin\Auth\RegisterController::class
);

3. In your custom RegisterController, you can modify the form fields. To handle the duplicated name field, you can use the key attribute to differentiate between them. Here's an example of how you can modify the fields:

CRUD::field([
   'label' => "Name",
   'type' => 'text',
   'name' => 'name',
   'key' => 'name_1'
]);

CRUD::field([
   'label' => "Another Name",
   'type' => 'text',
   'name' => 'name',
   'key' => 'name_2'
]);

By using the key attribute, you can have multiple fields with the same name but different keys, which allows Backpack to handle them separately.

For more detailed information on customizing the registration form and handling duplicate field names, you can refer to these resources:

Remember to adjust the field labels and keys according to your specific needs. If you need to make more extensive customizations to the form, you might want to consider creating a custom view for the registration form as well.

At the end I customized the file in theme-tabler for that view that was more fast.
