user accounts created by admin only

How do i remove the option of a new visitor to the site being able to create an account to view.

i have found a post that allows me to hide prices until logged in , which we are going to use

but the new site we will be building shortly will be trade only and we need to only allow access if we have created a user id for them

Re: user accounts created by admin only

I've prototyped this for a customer but it is quite non-trivial since there are many places where a link to create an account may show up.  There isn't a setting that says "don't allow accounts to be created".

Re: user accounts created by admin only

hi dave,
did the prototype work , is it available / finished  etc etc

the trade site wont be set up until the middle of june so there is time to play

thoughtt about taking it out of the skin , but there are too many instances in other places

as an alternative can the account created by a user not be available until it has been verified by admin?

Re: user accounts created by admin only

We are planning to move our site to CCP6.0 later this year.  I am preparing an RFP for some custom coding.  Removing all references to setting up an account will be one of our requirements.

Pretty much.  I don't recall offhand whether I finished finding all of the places that had to have something changed/removed.

Could you use wholesale accounts (call it trade if you'd like)?  Simply change your product displays to not show prices unless a person is logged in and a member of the wholesale group.  Everyone would be able to see what you have but no prices.  Since a person can't register as a wholesale account you'd have to change them in admin which meets your requirement that they be verified by admin.

Re: user accounts created by admin only

Dave,

Removing all references to setting up an account is one of our site requirements.  I found this thread that is over a year old.  Was this work ever finished?  Was it included as a feature in CCP7.1?
