title: Using custom forms in Django instead of modifying the source files
body: <p>Let me preface this by saying I'm VERY new to Django and am also having a hard time with some of the documentation. I know that this question has surely been asked and answered a thousand times, but I can't seem to phrase my query properly.</p>
  
  <p>I'm making a project that uses django-registration-redux, and I wanted to customize the template and the forms to accept additional user information. First, I noticed that my changes to the template files weren't having any effect , then I realized that it was using the template files from my Python install location instead of my actual project. I fixed this by setting the templates folder setting, but I also need to modify the registration-redux forms, and can't figure out how to override the default forms with local forms in my application.</p>
