Multiple account types, but only 1 available when registration

[Ivan Amador]

Hi,

I have 5 account types in my site, including "User" account type.

I would like to know how can I have "User" as the only account type option available when users create their accounts. And I don't want to inactivate the other account types because I want to be able to change the account type from "User" to another account type via Admin Panel after the user sign up.

Thanks!

Hello Ivan,

Strange request. You are the first who want it. I think will be better if you create a ticket with your request and we will create it for you like a customization.

Hi Viktor,

I know this isn't a difficult modification to open a ticket. :)

Can I just modify this code in the /tpl/controllers/registration.tpl



<div class="submit-cell">
<div class="name">{$lang.account_type}</div>
<div class="field single-field">
{if $account_types|@count > 1}
<select name="profile[type]">
<option value="0">{$lang.select}</option>
{foreach from=$account_types item='account_type'}
<option value="{$account_type.ID}" {if $smarty.post.profile.type == $account_type.ID}selected="selected"{/if}>{$account_type.name}</option>
{/foreach}
</select>

{foreach from=$account_types item='account_type'}
{if $account_type.desc}<div class="qtip_cont">{$account_type.desc}</div><img class="qtip hide desc_{$account_type.ID}" src="{$rlTplBase}img/blank.gif" alt="" />{/if}
{/foreach}
{else}
{foreach from=$account_types item='account_type' name='typesF'}
{assign var='own_location' value=$account_type.Own_location}
<span class="default_size">{$account_type.name}</span>
<select name="profile[type]" class="hide">
<option value="{$account_type.ID}" selected="selected">{$account_type.name}</option>
</select>
{if $account_type.desc}
<div class="qtip_cont">{$account_type.desc}</div><img title="" class="qtip" src="{$rlTplBase}img/blank.gif" alt="" />
{/if}
{/foreach}
{/if}
</div>
</div>


to something like this:



<input type="hidden" name="profile[type]" value="40" />


Where "40" is the value for the account type I want to use.

Thanks!

I'm looking to do this exact same thing. Did you ever get it resolved?

We have 2 account types, 'Dealers' and 'Buyers'. We don't want to open up so that anyone can register as a 'Dealer'.

Can the account type be defaulted and hidden so that it will only use 'Buyers'?

Nevermind, I figured it out based on this post.

Excellent. Thanks for pointing this out.
