Turning off "register" still allows someone to register

11 years 8 months ago #217321 by beginnerCB
I am using Joomla 2.5 and CB 1.9 .
I have turned off the ability for someone to register on my site and it does not show for on the CB Login. However I have been getting some strange new "users", usually with unusual userids and email addresses.
I then discovered that if you enter a fake userid and password, you are presented with a new screen that tells you it is invalid - with this new panel having a "register" link that allows you to enter a registration.
Did I miss setting something up or have done something incorretly?
Please let me know as it is currently in beta and is easy to correct now - not so much later on when I hope to have many uers join.
(I plan on installing CB Subs and charge new members - this may alleviate the problem as I will also turn on Captcha as part of that registration process.)
Thanks in advance.

OK, I was able to resolve the setting that was needed in order for the "register" to not display after an invalid signon attempt

The two settings are :
1) CB Login module - right side -> "create account = HIDE"
2) Component CB menu - configuration - registration tab -> "Allow user registration = same as global registration"

Hope that helps.
