So the way I resolved this is probably not the ideal way but it does have the advantage that it works.
For whatever reason I am unable to add LiteralFields to the Member Profiles registration form using the method linked in this thread.
But since the module extends Page I was able to interfere with it after the form was created by overriding two templates and introducing a function into Page.php.
First - Override 'MemberProfilePage_register.ss' and in place of $form I placed my own function name $Top.RegistrationForm.
Second - Create new template RegisterForm.ss and copy the code from /framework/templates/includes/Form.ss -- You don't have to do this but since we are customising we might as well get all the controls into our hands
Third - in Page.php create the function RegistrationForm
public function RegistrationForm(){
// grab the form
$alteredRegForm = $this->RegisterForm();
// add the new form template
$alteredRegForm->setTemplate('RegisterForm');
// remove an unwanted field
$alteredRegForm->fields->removeByName('VisibilityNote');
// add a wanted field
$termsfield = new LiteralField("Terms", "Some Text here");
$alteredRegForm->fields->insertBefore($termsfield, 'SomeOtherField');
return $alteredRegForm;
}
That'll do it. Now you have everything you need to customise the registration form in Member Profiles
