remove newsletter

[dannyd]

how do you remove the newsletter from the registration page .. or is there a way to disable newsletter completely ?

[kobra]

What you can do and this is preferable is in you copy for english.php find

define('ENTRY_EMAIL_PREFERENCE','Newsletter and Email Details');

and change this to

define('ENTRY_EMAIL_PREFERENCE','Email Details');

Removing the reference to a Newsletter but retaining their email preference and then you just never send a Newsletter.

doesnt that just change the title ?

i want to completely remove the newsletter details from the user registration page. Therefore I dont want to use the newsletter module.

Therefore I dont want to use the newsletter module.

The title is email and newsletter details and you should have the email details for order notifications.
You then just do not use the Newsletter function...

let me re-word what i was asking .. how do you remove the option to select text or html for newsletter when a user registers.

[Ryk]

If you turn off the newsletter subscribe box in admin>configuration>customer details and do as kobra suggests, you then still offer the customer the option of how they would like to receive their e-mails.

If you want to hide that altogether and deny your customers the choice, you can either use CSS to hide the element or edit includes/modules/create_account.php

[dannyd]

is this the file that makes up the user registration page ?

[Ryk]

Yes - the body of it anyway.

can I set text/or email to default somehow and how the select email format thing can be removed actually.. I tried to delete every referring line from create_account and it's still there..

poosk,
yes you can set a default by going to admin -> configuration -> customer details and then toggle the default email option, but I don't know how to remove that option on the user sign up page.
