Maelstrom - 1.5.2
Gantry - 3.1.18
I want to hide 'Register' from the login page on my site. I DO NOT want to disable user registration from the Global Config.
I have a list of 50ish people I want to send a hidden link to so they can register on their own. I do NOT want the general public to be able to register, only the 50 or so people I will be emailing.
I have yet to find a clear solution to this, ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated.

FTP to your site and goto
modules > mod_login > tmpl >
EDIT
Default.php
Remove or comment out.<li> <a href="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&view=registration'); ?>"> <?php echo JText::_('MOD_LOGIN_REGISTER'); ?></a> </li>
and it will take the registration URL out of the login box.
Email the people you want to register a linkYou might want to make sure that admin verifies the registration to activate them so you can keep an eye on the lin being used by only the people you want it used by...http://www.*************.com/index.php?option=com_users&view=registration

- I commented out the line referenced above in modules > mod_login > tmpl > default.php but I still see the link to Create an Account in my Member Login module: http://dev.hpcrew.com . Cleared cache and tried again but no change. Any idea why?

try going to:
joomla root > templates > YOUR_RT_TEMPLATE (e.g. rt_maelstrom_j15) > html > mod_login > tmpl > default.php
and edit that file
sometimes rockettheme create custom files so that the modules are compatible with their templates. good luck

I finally figured out my issue based on Adamck's comments above. The dir structure is incorrect for the Maelstrom template which I am using. I am assuming that his directory location works for a non Rockettheme Joomla install.
He gave me this dir location:
modules > mod_login > tmpl >
I made the edits in that location, and saw no change. I knew I was on the right track so I went hunting around.
For the Maelstrom template, (and any other template) should be:
public_html/templates/rt_maelstrom_j15/html/com_user/login/default_login.php
Make the edits there and you will see the change for your specific template.
That is my observation based on my work the last few days and may or may not be correct. I only have about a year's worth of experience with Joomla/Rockettheme.
I hope this helps someone else as I about tore my hair out for a few days trying to figure this out
Adamck, thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I appreciate the support.

On a side note, I'm also using an extension called JRPassPhrase:
extensions.joomla.org/extensions/access-...ity/site-access/6660
That extension allowed me to put a password on registration.
I created a menu item for "Default User Layout". (User > Default User Layout)
I have the JRPassPhrase module in SidebarA just to the right, and it has a box to input the passphrase they got in the email.
See here: elmcreekairpark.com/account/register
This completely solved my issue from above.
Thank you all again for your help/support. - -Strega
