Hello,

Because my site is on a private network and there is no email available for users to request a password reset or retrieve their user name, I commented out the links from login.php file.

I'm concerned that when I update K2 that file will be over-written and I'll have to go back in and comment them out again. If that's what I have to do, no problem, I was just wondering if there were any way to prevent this, such as some sort of over-ride like there is for css.

Thanks.

If you override the component and the modules, you can safely update K2 without losing any changes.

Furthermore you should disable user registration from the administration since Joomla! generates these URLs by default.

More on overrides can be found here: getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

Thanks for your quick reply Krikor. I'll look into the over rides. I'm not sure I understand your statement,

disable user registration from the administration

Could you please explain? I'm using K2 user for login so I'm confused as to what you are referring to.

Many thanks.

Hi Krikor,

I looked at the over-ride link. Really neat stuff. My question is this. Where I commented out the forgot password and user name links was in a file called login.php located in /var/www/modules/mod_k2_user/tmpl.

Does this mean since it's not located in the /components/com_k2 directory that it can't be overridden? The article you referred to only referred to the com_k2 directory.

Thanks for your patience with this.

Never mind. I experimented and discovered if I create a folder called mod_k2_user and put the login.php file there, it work!

Thanks for all your help!!

You 're welcome Chess Dad,

The correct folder would be: /templates/Your_Template/html/mod_k2_user/
