Joomla! Simple problem but driving me crazy!

    Hey there, would appriciate any help at all with this. Tried the Joomla! forums but there's no response after a few days. Still can't figure this one out...

    Basically, the registration form is on the frontpage layout, right at the bottom. All I want is it to be on its own separate page like every other component. I'm using community builder and sh404sef, but don't think it makes a difference.

    Thank you :)

    Could you post the link so I can take a look. Not sure what you mean.... If you don't want to share the url, go in to your front page settings, and change it there. But again, not sure what the problem is :)

    Hi there,
    One way I can see this working is as follows:
    1) Put in a bit of PHP code in your template for the login box.
    i.e.
    Put this code next to the main content code
    2) Enable the login module on your website, and make sure the module position is 'login'
    3) Create a menu item that is titled something appropriate i.e. login
    4) Now under the login module, you can specify which menu links you would like it to show up in. Set this to your login menu item only!

    Now if you click on the login menu item, it should show your login box in the middle of the page.

    Hope that makes sense.

    Cheers

    Thanks for your replies, much appriciated, but still can't figure it out. imwebdev, this is about the registration form not the login module. Unfortuantly the form isn't in a module so I don't know how to position it etc.

    You can view the page on the site using this: http://tinyurl.com/5ujw79 (sorry site is still not released.. not until this is done :))

    Yes, that's what I want to do. But I can't unpublish the modules for the registration page! Where do I do that? At the moment to achieve that I need to unpublish the frontpage modules, which obviously I need for the index page. But what you have there is what I'm looking to do, so thanks for your input :)

    Sorry I misread your original post!
    How many templates do you have? Do you just have the one, or do you have two different templates - one for homepage and one for standard page.

    If you have two templates, one way to do it is to set your default template as your standard page, and allocate the homepage the alternative template.

    Another way to do it is to remove the registration link from the login page, and create a menu item for the registration page. Then do as mok123 suggested. Simply make it so the banner module and all other irrelevant banners are not shown on the registration menu link.

    Cheers

    Thanks a lot, that makes sense now. Is there a way to only show the link for guests (non-registered)? I know the options are only public & registered, which is a little annoying too!

    If I understand this correctly, you want to show the registration page if someone visits the site and is not a registered user? If they are registered you want to show the content of what would normally be shown on the frontpage?

    No, I mean the link to the actual form ie. "Register". I only want to show this link to Guests (those not logged in). The menu link is working in topmenu and the form shows on it's own now. So thanks for your help! Thanks for the tip, but I don't like the look of that extension :s
