Solved Remove "Create Account" from Kuena User

I have a Joomla site using Community Builder for user management, coupled with Kunena. There are times I need to limit new registrations, so I don't publish the the registration link on the CB Login Module. However, it still appears on the Kunena page. Since CB controls user login and registration, I'd like to remove that from Kunena. How do I do that?

go to joomla users - click on options - disable user registration

I want to be able to allow registration, but just not to have the link showing on the public pages. This way, when I do want someone to register, I just send them a link. Maybe there is some sort of hack that can fix this, but I'm no good at coding without specific instructions.
Thanks, though.

I think I understand the problem and I think I have a solution. This is more a Community Builder issue than it is a Kunena issue; it would be better if this topic was moved to the Community Builder category, however I do not think the forum moderators will do that for us.

If I understand you correctly, you want your users to be able to login to your website on the same page as where they see your Kunena forum. Is that right?

Unfortunately, if you use the standard Kunena login form for your users to login, the appearance of the registration link is—as 810 implied—controlled by the Joomla User Management options . Therefore, in your case, you have to choose between using the Kunena login form or using the CB Login module.

I am not sure what your Kunena configuration settings are (because I have not seen your configuration report ), but I suggest you modify the forum integration plugin settings as shown in red below:


Kunena - AlphaUserPoints Disabled
Kunena - Community Builder Enabled: access=0 login=0 activity=0 avatar=1 profile=1 private=0
Kunena - Gravatar Disabled
Kunena - JomSocial Disabled
Kunena - Joomla Enabled: access=1 login=0
Kunena - Kunena Enabled: avatar=0 profile=0
Kunena - UddeIM Enabled: Disabled

No, I don't think I'm making myself clear. Mainly, I do NOT want users to "Create Account" from the Kuena link. It would be fine if there was no logon place on Kuena at all. Since Kuena takes it's login from Joomla (or CB), I have no use for anyone logging on from Kuena. And I definitely don't want them to "Create Account from Kuena. I don't want any changes in Joomla or Community Builder... ONLY to remove Create Account from Kuena.

This is what I was trying to explain. Yes, I agree with you. I think the best solution in your case is to disable (remove) the "Kunena login form" from your forum and let users use the CB Login module instead.

I am guessing (because you have not posted your configuration report ) that you should use the forum integration settings as I showed you in my earlier reply. Did you make those changes?

Yes. That is exactly what I want. To remove "Create Account" from Kuena. Here is my config report:

BTW... you will notice I have Kuena-UddeIM disabled. That is because it seemed produce some undesirable results in CB. I read on a Bulletin Board that disabling UddeIM on Kuena would fix the CB problem. It did, so I figured I'd leave it off.
