Registration & Entry?

DavidColburn

Are Entry and Registration part of the same thing?
If I want to eliminate self-registration (it's a members-only group, Forum participants are added manually) do I comment-out all lines related to entry and registration in css and php?

Tama

You can change this in your settings Dashboard> Users> Registration and set it to Invitation

http://yourforum.com/forum/dashboard/settings/registration

you can then set "Invitations per month" to none to the people who don't want to have the power to invite new users.

Thanks, I have done this, but I'd like to also remove the text suggesting that someone may self-register "Don't have an account? Create One." but I'm not sure where that is located in the Vanilla Folder Structure.

He wants to get rid of registration , I think he wants to register people manually and have no access until he does.

The only thing I can think of is hide the buttons to the registration page on the guest module and on the sign in form.

DavidColburn

I cannot tell from looking at the Wiki and Vanilla Folder Structure docs where I should go to fix that screen. I'm guessing that to remove "Don't have an account? Create One." is trivial. Not sure about removing the actual code that allows self-registration (so it cannot be intentionally or unintentionally activated somewhere down the road).

I can give some advice here , you can hide the guest module with css

div.Box.GuestBox{
display:none;
}

li.CreateAccount {
display: none;
}

DavidColburn

Is this the correct .css file to edit?

/themes/RedWood/design/custom.css

You can also use the $Configurations to have it show or not in the config.php

$Configuration['Garden']['Modules']['ShowGuestModule']          = FALSE;
$Configuration['Garden']['Modules']['ShowSignedInModule']       = FALSE;
$Configuration['Garden']['Modules']['ShowRecentUserModule']     = FALSE;

DavidColburn

OK, I added those lines to

/conf/config.php

Should I also leave these commented-out in /conf/config.php?

// $Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['ConfirmEmail'] = '1';
// $Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['Method'] = 'Invitation';
// $Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['ConfirmEmailRole'] = '3';
// $Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['CaptchaPrivateKey'] = '';
// $Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['CaptchaPublicKey'] = '';
// $Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['InviteExpiration'] = '-1 week';
// $Configuration['Garden']['Registration']['InviteRoles'] = 'a:5:{i:3;s:1:"0";i:4;s:1:"0";i:8;s:1:"0";i:16;s:1:"0";i:32;s:1:"0";}';

DavidColburn

If I comment-out or remove these lines from /themes/RedWood/design/custom.css will that get rid of the "Don't have an account? Create One." text, or is that in HTML somewhere else?

div.Entry.SingleEntryMethod {
background:#666;
border-color:#222;
border-width:1px;
font:family:Arial;
}

div.Entry.SingleEntryMethod Label {
font-color:#adadad;
}

div.Entry.SingleEntryMethod h1 {
background:url(images/woodnav.png);
border-color:#222;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px;
color:#000;
font:family:Arial;
}

vrijvlinder

You can't comment out css, if you remove them the main style will show them.

You need to write new css rules

div.Entry.SingleEntryMethod{display:none;}

This unresponsive script error keeps popping up and is blocking editing of custom.css

Script: https://box757.bluehost.com:2083/frontend/bluehost/filemanager/editit.html?file=custom.css&fileop=&dir=/home3/nevilsst/public_html/oachegroup/themes/RedWood/design&dirop=&charset=&file_charset=DETECT&baseurl=&basedir=&codeedit=1:33

Can you sort out what it means, please?

vrijvlinder

This has to do with your host please contact your host, I recommend you undo some of the things in the config.php like un comment the parts you commented out.

check your files that they are in the right places , check for any errors like missing brackets or unclosed html.

Can't think of anything except retrace you steps .

DavidColburn

OK, after moving the commented-out lines in config.php and I returned entrycontroller to the custom.css array and all appears to be well in Dashboard.

vrijvlinder

this will hide the guest box the sign in link will still appear in the menu. But the module withe apply for membership will be hidden.

div.Box.GuestBox{
display:none;
}

DavidColburn

This, in custom.css, has no impact. The invitation remains in the Sign In box and when clicked the Apply for Membership box pops up.

div.Box.GuestBox{
display:none;
}

If I add this then there is no Sign In box and the Sign In button is unresponsive

div.Entry.SingleEntryMethod{
display:none;
}

vrijvlinder

try this , the rule work I have used it ...maybe add

#Panel div.Box.GuestBox{
display:none!important;
}

DavidColburn

Do I need both? By itself this makes no change either.

#Panel div.Box.GuestBox{
display:none!important;
}

vrijvlinder

hmmm let me go check ok?

but you will need to disable the redirect so I can view as a guest

DavidColburn

I just changed your Roles to include Guest, Member, Applicant - does that work?

DavidColburn

ForceRedirect has been disabled as well.
