Hi Everyone

I want to get rid of ‘Sign Up’ in the header area, and just leave ‘Log In’.

Does anyone know where I can find this?

Thanks
Chris

IF you go to /templates/ja_teline_ii/html/mod_login/default.php and find line 68 and delete everything from line 68 to 173.

<li>
<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_("index.php?option=com_user&task=register");?>" onclick="return hs.htmlExpand(this, {contentId: 'id_highslide_signup_1',outlineType:'rounded-white',width:330,height:360,outlineWhileAnimating:true} )" >

Now how would you change the text to say “Register” instead of create an account? Where would this be hiding?

Brilliant! Thanks Menalto, that worked fine! 😎

Sorry, didn’t see any sign of ‘Sign Up’ in the code? Must be lurking somewhere else! Hopefully, Menalto will be back with the answer!

Link to registration would be: http://www.yoursite.com/index.php?option=com_user&task=register

Open the file en-GB.mod_login.ini in the language folder of Joomla and find REGISTER

REGISTER=Sign up

There you can change it to what you want.

Just curious Chris,

You will allow people to login without registration? or, you just want to integrate the two functions?

I get many spam registration with my various photogalleries, and some try to use emails that are not even their own, most likely.

The default registration-login of Joomla is not very secure. Even the Joomla core team recognize this. There is a white paper on it already about the steps that needed to be done — but they are just talking about it, and it may be one of the features to be included in Joomla 1.6, which may be years aways.

The problem in any interactive site is the security breach if someone can get in. Last year, Joomla was attacked several times, where the site was out for days. They have these teams of volunteers though who can do the repair remotely(???) — but small site owners like us do not have that luxury.

It is not foolproof, but the Registration process is one way of screening undesirable elements.

Hi Cornelio

Nope, only registered members can log-in. However, we will have four years worth of articles on our site which we have reproduced from our printed magazine. We have had to pay a great deal of money for the research or creation of these articles (we pay lawyers, accountants, banks, etc., to write articles, we also pay photographers, journalists, etc.).

So, the money we have invested over the years is immense. We are now, also paying ‘registered’ translators to ensure that our ‘non-english’ content on the site is 100% correct.

Therefore, we will be charging a small membership fee (we have a seperate ‘members’ section with discounts, competitions, downloads, legal advice, language lessons, etc.). Some content will be available to non-registered, but most content will only be available to registered members. They pay a few dollars via PayPal for membership, I then send them a username and password to access the member area.

That’s the theory anyway! 🙂

It’s a bit like me signing up here for a year to get ‘support’ for my template, if you know what I mean! 😉

Cheers
Chris

Chris,

Yeah, I understand the cost. I did not expect commercial magazines to be free unless it relies heavily on advertising.

Do you use Paypal now? I heard the service charge is very high. Payment over the phone? That is labor intensive.

I have not tried it yet but do you have a secure https://questbg.com already?

Does that mean you will do the “registration” yourself? Sending username and password via email is not very secure, and costly via snail mail. More important, some people may forget the username and password. If they will call you by phone to request password change, it is a very slow process.

Which reminds me, the Joomla login system is not very secure. You may want to consider other alternatives.

Cornelio
