You may allow existing users to login to their accounts as well as allow new users to create a new account in your Joomla 2.5 website. Allowing users to create a new account is allowed by default and as an administrator you can disable this feature. This is easily turned off in the Joomla 2.5 Administrator backend.
Below I will show you how to disable new user creation / or Hide the new user registration form.
High level overview of changes that need to be made:
- Edit the User Options in the User Manager
- Disable new user creation form in User Manager
1. Edit the User Options in the User Manager
- Login to your Joomla 2.5 Administrator backend
- Click on ‘Users’, ‘User Manager’
- Click on ‘Options’ icon along the top right
2. Disable New User Registration in User Manager
- In the User Configuration Window, Click on the ‘Component’ tab
- Set the following value:
- Allow User Registration = No
- Click on ‘Save & Close’
Now you can refresh your Joomla 2.5 website. The link to ‘Create New Account’ will no longer show up. Existing users can still login to your account, new users will not able to register or create an account on your website.
Thanks,
Elaine,
I am trying to get pictures into a flash module onto my homepage of my website. I have tried different modules and everything else that I can think of and cannot get it figured out.
I just finished taking a web design class using Joomla, of course the class wasn’t long enough to learn everything that I wanted to.
If there is a link or you can explain how to do this in an email or you can call me if that is easier, I would truly appreciate your help.
I am building this website for my new job and have a 6 month review coming up in a few months and I told them that taking the class I would use our office website as my class project and didn’t get it finished.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.
