Hi,On our site we use K2 for all content management.. I noticed the K2 User plugins adds stuff onto the registration form .. How do i remove it ? If i dont want my users to add articles to the site, can i just disable the user plugin ?

Whoops.. i meant the system plugin..

What else is it responsible for..

If you dont want users to add K2 Items to your site, then you need to configure your User Group to prevent them from doing so.
This is the best way.

Actually what i want is that i just dont want to show K2 fields in the registration form.

Sorry, I am a bit confused?

You dont want visitors to register? Then don't use the K2 Login Module.
When visitors register, using k2 Joom Login module, then they are directed to the Joomla registration page, unless you use some other registration type.

K2Joom.com chose not to use standard Joomla registration due to no antispam, so we used AlphaRegistration instead.

Do you have a link to your site, I will take a look.

Actually i wanted users to register.. but not show them the additional description etc fields..

Can you tell me how the K2 registration is superior as even though i have had lots of spam users registering after using that..

I decided to use default registration & use com_security images with it.. so i wanted to remove the K2 fields..

I dont believe K2 has a registration plugin as it uses the standard Joomla registration.
The standard Joomla Login has no antispam, such as recaptcha and although K2 uses this, it is not configured for registration purposes.

Can you send a screen shot of the page, which shows the items you do not want displayed, as this will help to identify which files need to be modified and ensure I know exaclty what you want.

thanks.

K2 uses a System plugin to rewrite the registration form.. will post a screenshot asap

Anyone figure this out yet?

I tried to edit (e.g., eliminate) some of the fields in the template override file, but it didn't do anything:

/templates/TEMPLATE_NAME/html/com_k2/register.php

I thought for sure that the override would work, but no dice. Any other ideas?

Thanks much

Hi,

We finally had to comment out the function that was overriding the registration form from the K2 system plugin.. Ideally this should be optional & configurable from the system plugin params..

You can turn front end editing paramater to "No"
or Disable the User Groups front end editing ability
or if you dont want any one to login you can disable k2_login module
The k2 user plugin syncronized the k2 users with your joomla users

Yes i know that..

I am simply saying that the overriding the Joomla User registration form should be optional.. Also a better idea might be do it via a template override as right now ppl get confused how to do anything to modify what K2 does to it..

Hi,

You can avoid K2 to override user registration by configuring K2 in backend :

K2 -> parameters -> (advanced settings) -> Enable K2 User Profile -> No

Thats great ! I hadnt seen that option :)

@Parth: thanks for the response about "We finally had to comment out the function that was overriding the registration form from the K2 system plugin" -- what file did you comment that out in?

Turning off user profile in the configs will revert you back to the normal Joomla registration, but the users who register won't be registered in K2 and therefore won't be able to comment on K2 items etc. like normal K2 users (if you have commenting turned on for registered users only). Kind of sucky.

A solution that allows users to register in K2 and Joomla at the same time, without the gender/avatar/description stuff, would be better....

Ben,

I believe you are right.. The hack we made to the plugin does just that..

This was the best answer - worked immediately and just turned off all the extra fields, but still allows Registration with an -anti spam protection. Thank you! I had spent an hour trying to find just the right button to configure in the Parameters - and never tried that one.
