You can turn front end editing paramater to "No"
or Disable the User Groups front end editing ability
or if you dont want any one to login you can disable k2_login module
The k2 user plugin syncronized the k2 users with your joomla users

Yes i know that..

I am simply saying that the overriding the Joomla User registration form should be optional.. Also a better idea might be do it via a template override as right now ppl get confused how to do anything to modify what K2 does to it..

Hi,

You can avoid K2 to override user registration by configuring K2 in backend :

K2 -> parameters -> (advanced settings) -> Enable K2 User Profile -> No

Thats great ! I hadnt seen that option :)

@Parth: thanks for the response about "We finally had to comment out the function that was overriding the registration form from the K2 system plugin" -- what file did you comment that out in?

Turning off user profile in the configs will revert you back to the normal Joomla registration, but the users who register won't be registered in K2 and therefore won't be able to comment on K2 items etc. like normal K2 users (if you have commenting turned on for registered users only). Kind of sucky.

A solution that allows users to register in K2 and Joomla at the same time, without the gender/avatar/description stuff, would be better....

Ben,

I believe you are right.. The hack we made to the plugin does just that..

This was the best answer - worked immediately and just turned off all the extra fields, but still allows Registration with an -anti spam protection. Thank you! I had spent an hour trying to find just the right button to configure in the Parameters - and never tried that one.
