How to disable front-end login component in Joomla 3?
I have managed to disable front-end user registration by disallowing registration as below.
But still the login form is accessible via below url
index.php?option=com_users&view=login
How can I disable front-end login component without editing the core files?
Given that I have gone through below. I don't want to use a RewriteRule to get it done. I want to show a msg to user that it's disabled.
Answer
Try this,
Joomla default login module is protected. So you can't edit/disable it from admin side.
Just check extensions-> extension manager -> Search for login
Then that module will display. but you can't make it disable. So the solution for override this feature without touching core files is template override.
You can simply override this view index.php?option=com_users&view=login in your template.
Editing Protected extension via DB tables
The extensions can not be edited, but you can manage it by turning it ON, or OFF. Protected, mean that this extension can not be managed, otherwise it will broke structure of your site. However, if you wish to bring extension to unlocked status, you can access your DB (in my case MySQL edited by phpMyAdmin), find reliable table of structure, find desired string, and change "Status" from "1" to "0". Usually your host providing you with some DB administering tools.
Hope it helps..
