Hide Register Button?

[nairu]

Since registration is disabled on my forum, I was curious if there was a way to remove the "Register" option from the header entirely? All help would be appreciated.

Hi nairu

To remove the Register link, from your Admin panel, navigate:
Admin Home> Themes> Layout Templates
Select the desired theme using the dropdown to the right of the words: Current Theme
Click on the listing for Forum Wrapper in the column marked: Template Name

On or about line 43, find a line that looks like this:
Please $[login_link]{if $[login_link] && $[register_link]} or {/if}$[register_link].
Replace that with this:
Please $[login_link]
Click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page or the Save Theme button near the top of the page.

Please let me know if this gets you where you want to go.

Note: If you ever re-enable registration on your forum, please remember to reverse this modification.

A slightly different way, which would retain the coding if registration was ever re-enabled, would be something like this:


Please $[login_link]<!--{if $[login_link] && $[register_link]} or {/if}$[register_link]-->.


The part in between the <!-- and --> would be treated as a comment (not executed), but would allow for the original coding to remain. Reversing this (to make it show a Register link again) would be simple removing the <!-- and -->

^ Brill! ^

Hi Matty. I appreciate you wanting to help, but if you don’t have a solution of your own, it’s best if you don’t reply to those asking for help. Thanks.

Would it be possible to remove the corner line'Please Login Register' completely -
including the bigger 'Register' button

1. ONLY KEEPING THE LOGIN BUTTON


2. & possibly modify the text of the bigger login button to something else?

I don't understand what you're telling us wildmaven, or why you've admonished Matty for trying to help.

I thought this forum was a help forum for people who are experiencing difficulties with problems on their forum. Does it matter who solves a code problem first? Let's say for argument sake, you are the original person who thought up this particular answer for a problem like this. Are you saying no one else can use this code fix to help someone else with the same problem? because they never thought of it first. Hmm....

Look for <p id="welcome"> in the Forum Wrapper template, (Admin Home > Themes Layout Templates) and replace the code with the code below. Let me know if this gets you where you want to go??

<p id="welcome">
{if !$[current_user.is_member]}
Welcome Guest.
<!-- {if $[login_link] || $[register_link]}
Please $[login_link]{if $[login_link] && $[register_link]} or {/if}$[register_link].
{/if} -->
<a href="$[login_link.href]">Login message here</a>
{else}
<span>Welcome $[current_user.name].</span>  $[logout_link]
{/if}
</p>

The users quote didn't actually help anyone as it was just a quote that had been posted by Retread.

I agree, I was just wanting to be nice, that's all.
