I want users to create accounts using DTRegister so they can log back in and edit, but I don't want people to create accounts on the front end for joomla. Is there a way to do this that anyone would be willing to share? I don't want a bunch of rogue accounts, only accounts created by DT-Register. Turning off the self registration option for joomla seems to make it where a user can't create an account during the registration process even though the form does not error out or anything. If anyone has an idea, please let me know.

Yes, you have to leave the registration option in Joomla enabled for the auto-user creation in DT Register to work.

I'd suggest a couple of things:

1) Remove the "Register" link in whatever login module you are using. Some modules have a parameter for this... some you'll just have to make a simple modification to the module PHP file, basically comment out that Register link.

2) Setup a redirect in your site for the core Joomla registration page to direct users to an article with instructions... or to a DT Register page.

Ok.. and if they want to log back in to DT to modify a registration, that will prompt them to log in? Thanks for the response... I will start testing.
