Disabling account creation

[magic462]

Is it possible to disable the account creation, if not what are the other ways to work around this, even editing codings, or can I comment out to disable this function and what if so what needs to be comment out?

Exactly what are you trying to accomplish. Will this help? http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=1655

yea that will be handling thanks alot afo, what i am trying to accomplish is that i dont need the anything to do with users account, creating acounts, login, or none of that for site, i know you can hide the link, but i was thinking changing the file permission as well for php login_default and account creation page so people cant access that site

Again, the question is ... why?

[magic462]

because i dont need the feature at all. it waste of space on my hosting site and i just want people click the items they want, takes them to the paypal payment page and they do their business there. i dont need those features, i have no use for it all.

So, you're really just setting up a PayPal store, and don't really need Zen Cart at all.
That's not how Zen Cart is designed to work.

[magic462]

yes and no, i just dont need the part where people can log in or create accounts, some stores need it but mines does not.

That's not an option with Zen Cart.

Zen Cart is not just a fancy product database. It's an ecommerce system where customers place orders, administrators track orders, and customers can follow up with information about the status of their orders. And since making sales requires knowing who your customers are, it also requires that customers provide their details as part of placing orders.

If you don't need an ecommerce system, then you don't need Zen Cart.

well i think we might be going off track. how do i move the login and creation page?

While you're welcome to customize the software however you like, the customizations you're asking to make are significantly different than what the software is designed to do.

As such, the answer to your question is to hire someone who knows the software well enough to make your required customizations.

You will not find people here teaching you how to hack apart critical core functionality to make it do something it's not designed to do. If you want to significantly alter how the software works, that's what Commercial Help Wanted is for.
