Magento EE 1.11 - Customer Attributes Not Visible - magento

Question

Our client wants to add an 'Industry' dropdown to customer registration. We have created a new customer attribute, 'industry' and entered in the appropriate values.
It was not showing on the front-end. I looked into customer/form/register.phtml and it wasn't calling anything for attributes, so I pulled from enterprise/default/template/customer/form/register.phtml the following:
<?php $customerAttributes = $this->getChild('customer_form_user_attributes');?>
<?php if ($customerAttributes): ?>
<?php $customerAttributes->setShowContainer(false);?>
<?php $this->restoreSessionData($customerAttributes->getForm());?>
<?php echo $customerAttributes->toHtml()?>
<?php endif;?>
And then I added in the .xml update found in 'enterprise/layout/customer.xml':
<remove name="right"/>
<remove name="left"/>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>
</reference>
<block type="page/html_wrapper" name="customer.form.register.fields.before" translate="label">
<label>Form Fields Before</label>
<!--action method="setMayBeInvisible"><value>1</value></action-->
<action method="setElementClass"><value>rewards</value></action>
</block>
<block type="enterprise_customer/form" template="customer/form/userattributes.phtml" name="customer_form_user_attributes">
<action method="setFormCode"><code>customer_account_create</code></action>
<action method="setEntityModelClass"><code>customer/customer</code></action>
</block>
<block type="enterprise_customer/form" template="customer/form/userattributes.phtml" name="customer_form_address_user_attributes">
<action method="setFormCode"><code>customer_register_address</code></action>
<action method="setEntityModelClass"><code>customer/address</code></action>
</block>
<reference name="content">
<block type="customer/form_register" name="customer_form_register" template="customer/form/register.phtml">
<action method="append"><block>customer.form.register.fields.before</block> <alias>form_fields_before</alias></action>
<action method="append"><block>customer_form_user_attributes</block> </action>
<action method="append"> <block>customer_form_address_user_attributes</block></action>
</block>
</reference>
<update handle="customer_form_template_handle"/>
At this point, the attributes are not visible on the front-end. If I perform:
<pre>
<?php print_r($customerAttributes->getUserDefinedAttributes()) ?>
</pre>
I am returned the array of attributes as I would expect. What am I missing here?

Found it. Needed this stuff in customer.xml. For some reason using the enterprise/default customer.xml wasn't working, but I added this in and it was good.
<customer_form_template_handle>
<reference name="content">
<block name="customer_form_template" type="enterprise_customer/form_template">
<action method="addRenderer">
<type>text</type>
<renderer_block>enterprise_customer/form_renderer_text</renderer_block>
<template>customer/form/renderer/text.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="addRenderer">
<type>textarea</type>
<renderer_block>enterprise_customer/form_renderer_textarea</renderer_block>
<template>customer/form/renderer/textarea.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="addRenderer">
<type>multiline</type>
<renderer_block>enterprise_customer/form_renderer_multiline</renderer_block>
<template>customer/form/renderer/multiline.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="addRenderer">
<type>date</type>
<renderer_block>enterprise_customer/form_renderer_date</renderer_block>
<template>customer/form/renderer/date.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="addRenderer">
<type>select</type>
<renderer_block>enterprise_customer/form_renderer_select</renderer_block>
<template>customer/form/renderer/select.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="addRenderer">
<type>multiselect</type>
<renderer_block>enterprise_customer/form_renderer_multiselect</renderer_block>
<template>customer/form/renderer/multiselect.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="addRenderer">
<type>boolean</type>
<renderer_block>enterprise_customer/form_renderer_boolean</renderer_block>
<template>customer/form/renderer/boolean.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="addRenderer">
<type>file</type>
<renderer_block>enterprise_customer/form_renderer_file</renderer_block>
<template>customer/form/renderer/file.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="addRenderer">

<renderer_block>enterprise_customer/form_renderer_image</renderer_block>
<template>customer/form/renderer/image.phtml</template>
</action>
</block>
</reference>
</customer_form_template_handle>

You should check template/customer/form/userattributes.phtml which is controlling user defined attributes. I don't know, does anybody touched this file? Check this first.
<?php foreach ($this->getUserDefinedAttributes() as $attribute):?>
<?php $attributeContent = $this->getAttributeHtml($attribute);?>
<?php if ($attributeContent): ?>
<li><?php echo $attributeContent;?></li>
<?php endif;?>
<?php endforeach;?>
