I ask this because the Create an Account link in the login module points to the Joomla registration, but I have JomSocial installed also and I need every user to register through the Jomsocial and fill out all the necessary profile information.

1) Goto Global Configuration
2) Click the System link
3) Under User Settings, look for Allow User Registration.
4) Select No
5) Click Save

When you go back to your site, you will see that the link no longer appears. Thanks a lot for your help, c0nfus3ds0ul!

Goto: Modules-> Mod_Login-> tmpl -> default.php

Then remove the section:

Code: Select all

		
<li>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_user&task=register' ); ?>">
<?php echo JText::_('REGISTER'); ?></a>
</li>

Hi Lee,

I tried this, but the module still shows the link. If I rename the mod_login folder, it doesn't load the login module ( as expected ) , but changing any code in the default.php file doesn't seem to make a difference.

Am I having a DFU moment

I have a site using Joomla 1.5.25 and I cannot for the life of me figure out what's going on. I unpublished, and even went so far as to delete the modules-->mod_login from my site (after backing it up of course) and the thing is still showing. My reason for doing this is because I noticed when I want to remove the "Register" text from the page, it still showed after following the instructions above.

Can someone take a peek at it?

Below the fold, on the right, is a module in the user8 position that says, "Wholesaler Login" - click that and you'll see what I mean.

The modules-->mod_login folder is not there on the server! And I double checked the templates folder, and there are no overrides in there!!!

Thanks for any quick help!

<!--<li>
		<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_( 'index.php?option=com_user&view=register' ); ?>">
			<?php echo JText::_('REGISTER'); ?></a>
	</li>--!>

The reason why it would not work for me is because there was a module in the template that was overriding the mod_login under modules.

Once that entire module was removed, I was able to link the "Create an Account" to my Chronoforms registration form and/or remove the link.
