[Openinteract-help] NewUser question.

[Timothy M. A. <ti...@ad...>]

Hello (again!) list!

Sorry to be such a bother lately, but I think I'm finally getting the
handle on this thing. Please correct me if I'm wrong about how things
are working here.

In the site I'm working on (called Cornerstone), I'd like to have user
creation done only by the Superuser or Site Administrators. I've removed
the links in the templates to the /NewUser action, but you can still
type it in manually and create a user. I've also played around with the
"action.conf" file under my application's pkg/base_user-1.64/conf
directory, but I can't get the action to unmap. The impression I'm
getting from my RTFM action is that the application is defaulting to the
OpenInteract::Handler::NewUser.pm in my OI base directory after not
finding a Cornerstone::Handler::NewUser.pm in the action.perl files. Am
I off here?

And, what is the "correct" way to disable this (or any other)
functionality? I was thinking I could reimpliment the base_user package
without the functionality, but this seems overkill at this point. I
could also go into the NewUser.pm file in either my OI installation, or
the web app and fiddle with the actual perl code, possibly just having
it output nonesense code, but this seems to be kind of a kluge to me.
Ideally, I'd like the default "File Not Found" page to be displayed.

Any hints?

Thanks a ton!
