Is there a way to remove the sign-up field and change the registration link?

[xMikeV2]

hi, I have been searching for a mod that removes the sign-up (for new regs) field and a way to change the link so it can only be shared by me. I saw someone can do this on a wordpress page, so I was wondering if thats possible for us vB users too. I am using 4,2,3

This doesn't hide the "sign-up" button. I want it be be hidden and only people that have the register link can sign up.

That would require a template edit.

Template: header

Find:

PHP Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
                <li><a href="register.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase register}</a></li>
                </vb:if> 


Change it to:

PHP Code:

<!-- <vb:if condition="$show['registerbutton']">
                <li><a href="register.php{vb:raw session.sessionurl_q}" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase register}</a></li>
                </vb:if> --> 


The <!-- and --> around the code makes it so that the code will be ignored. I wouldn't suggest in removing it, just in case you might wish to re-add it later on. If that is the case in the future, just remove the <!-- in the beginning and --> at the end.

To prevent people from calling the "register.php" script manually, add the following code at the top of that file:

PHP Code:

if (!$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])
{
    exit;
}

You can also using something like this:

First one is a passcode that is required to make an account, and the second is to rename the registration URL so people can't easily figure out the registration URL, but without a passcode that would be useless.

Thank you guys, works like that

I'd like to use the chance to ask another thing to avoid opening another thread:

Is it possible to have different pictures for each thread ? I mean that status icon thing. Like change it for each thread or category. If so, please let me know how (probably somewhere in the templates again)
