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.

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.

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

Ben

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..
