Can't you just move it off the menu? - drag it to the inactive area. |
You have to do two things to remove Unregister fully from a domain:
1. As Rob said, remove it from the Navigation Menu Builder
2. Rename the file: unregister.php or remove it.
This will create what we affectionately like to call a Website California, you can leave anytime you like, but you can never check out. Please keep in mind that if you have notifications and such that this may actually cause a violation of the CAN-SPAM Act in the US, where people have to be given the right to opt out of unwanted e-mails, in the instance they want to delete their profile and you're denying them, you can be held liable. So you better have something for them to opt out if you do this. |
mydatery, thanks very much for the info. Yes, they will have the option to remove their profile by contacting one of our admin team members. You have to do two things to remove Unregister fully from a domain:

2. Rename the file: unregister.php or remove it.

I wonder how difficult it would be to alter the unregister.php file to instead of deleting the member, removing the profile from the main profiles table and placing the data in a backup table. To the user they would see that their profile has been removed but from an administrative stand point we would have a full backup archive of everyone that signed up for our site at some point. |
You can shut off the Top Menu dashboard one by just unchecking guest/member in the navigation menu. But there is one on the bottom still on the BOTTOM Dashboard I can't seem to find. |
To delete the unregister from bottom dashboard open sql and go to the sys_menu_member table, you will want to work with ID 8 (_Dashboard). Edit the code in the PopupMenu box to take out this code snippet (its in the first 16 lines of text): 'unregister' => array( 'url' => 'unregister.php', 'icon' => 'memeber_menu_sub_unregister.png', 'caption' => _t( '_Unregister' ), ), Then save the code change and unregister will be gone. |
