Joomla question, had no luck on their forums

PROGRAMMING

Hey warrior programmers,

I posted this on the forums at joomla.org about 6 weeks ago with no luck.
Thought I would see if any of you could help.

My problem is the position of the registration form. I have a couple of news feeds on
the home page. These feeds are just a module with an rss link. They are only
assigned to mainmenu|home.

When you click on register the home page modules still show and the registration
form is out of view all the way at the bottom of the page.

How can I move the registration form up or have the modules not show up on the
registration page?

I am using 1.0.15

Thanks Joel

Hmm, tricky - all your other pages are behaving normally, so it's something speficic to that page's code. Need to think a bit before I can guess at where it is though - I've have an experimental joomla installation up but haven't gotten around to doing much with it. Reading the manual and trying a bit of bug hunting seems as good away to get to know the system as any

*Oh, and impresive signup light box. Would it be an idea to disable the link to the static signup page and just link both signup buttons to the lightbox instead?

  Thanks for having a look.
  
  The LightBox login module is available here. The problem with only using that is mainly me.
  I'm not a programmer. It's been a while since I looked but I was only able to find one of the links to change. and did not want to disable the original login module that everyone was use to. There are also login/register links in some of the components like the forum and classifieds.
  
  Another problem is the lost password form has the same problem and the lightbox module doesn't have the lost password feature.
  
  From what I understand the form is a module but does not show up in the admin with the other modules where it could just be reordered to the top. I thought it would be easy to just make the form show at the top if nothing else, but I guess it's not so simple since no one offered a solution at joomla.org

  2 things here :
  
  The registration form is not a module - it is loaded in the <?php mosMainBody(); ?> bit in your template.
  
  The modules at the top have coded positions in the template. If the template coder has been nice to you , then those modules will collapse when not being shown , and , as simpleweb says - you can then just click the module that is pushing the reg form down , hold down control and then select the pages you don't want it to show on.
  
  Then - the form should move upwards.
  
  If the module positions have been hard coded - then you either gotta recode that template so that they move or choose a different template. This is because even if you set the modules to not display on the registration page ( which you will have to do by removing it from "unassigned" pages ) - the gaps that are created by the css for those modules will still be there.
  
  Hope that helps
  Cheers!

The registration form getting pushed down sounds like a problem with the template

You can set how modules show on your site in the module properties. You can have them to show up on all pages or just certain ones.

I could help more but need a link to site

  Thanks for the help.
  
  My site is CowetaNet.com - Home.
  
  The modules on the home page with the rss feeds are only assigned to mainmenu|home.

  Thanks Lloyd,
  
  I was replying to Simplweb and didn't see your post.
  
  I guess it's more complicated than I thought. I have tried some different templates and still have the same problem.
  
  When assigning modules there is no option for the registration page.
  
  I think I will look at other options for displaying the rss feeds. I just like the way the modules look.

  Hi Joel
  
  Yep - those modules are collapseable.
  
  So - you should be able to deselect them for the registration page. Now - there isn't actually a registration page on the module menu ( as you picked up ) , so you can do 2 things :
  
  1) Adjust those modules to not show on "unassigned" pages by deselecting unassigned
  2) Make a link to the registration page on a menu that you don't publish - then deselect the modules so that they don't show on that link.
  
  Let me know if that works.
  
  Cheers!
  Lloyd

  Hi Lloyd,
  
  Unless I'm missing something it didn't work.
  
  I do not have "unassigned" selected for the modules.
  
  I thought option 2 should work but I didn't have any luck. The only way I could find to make a menu item was by using the link-url option. I clicked on register on the home page and copied that url for a new menu item. It did not show up in the module options unless it was published. Even when I published the new menu item it did not help. Every module that is assigned to mainmenu|home shows on the registration page.
  
  I tried assigning one of the modules only to the new menu item and it did not show when I clicked the original register link so I assume the link-url option didn't work.
  
  Thanks, Joel

  Yes, Lloyd fixed it.(Thanks again Lloyd)
  
  It was my screw up. I had SEF turned on but had not modified .htaccess.
