Looking for help please.

I have a predefined list of users, so I need to disable the New User Registration function when on the User association page.

I don't find any existing topic on the subject, so I create this one.

I am using the JFBConnect 6.1.2

Thank in advance for your lights,
Joel.

Joel,
That's an interesting question that we've never had before. There's no option in JFBConnect to disable the registration side of the page, you can only hide the login side, which is what it sounds like you want to keep.

There's a few options to do what you're looking for. You could do some editing of our PHP template files to remove the extra registration form. The other, easier, option is to simply hide the registration form altogether. To do so, what I'd recommend is:
* Set the "Registration Display Mode" setting to "Vertical". That will show the Login area at the top of the page.
* Add the following block of CSS to your template:
#jfbc_loginregister_newuser {
display: none;
}

Beyond that, I'd recommend the following settings:
* In the User Manager of Joomla, make sure that "Allow New User Registrations" is "No"
* In the User Manager area, set User Activation to "Admin"
* In JFBConnect, set "Skip Joomla Activation" to 'No'

That will all ensure that even if some user manages to create a new account, they won't be able to login with it unless you approve them.

I hope that helps, but if you have any questions, just let me know.

Thanks,
Alex
