removing create new account tab from login page in drupal 7

Question

Drupal login page, while going from url ?q=user shows you login form and it also shows Change password and Create new account tabs . I want to remove the Create new account option/tab from there and also I do not want user to access registration page even via url: ?q=user/register.

Anyone?

Answer 1

To hide the Create new account tab in the /user path, you can insert the following in your module code:

function modulename_menu_alter(&$item) {
  // Hide the "Create new account" tab
  $item['user/register']['type'] = MENU_CALLBACK;
}

This hides the tab but still allows for /user/register to be accessed.

Answer 2

Open the Configuration admin menu, and under the People heading click Account Settings. Under the heading Who can register accounts? select Administrators only and then save the settings.
