[SOLVED] Registration Page - Different Layout from homepage

Hello All,

Is there anyway to give the registration page a different layout than the homepage?
The problem I am having is that the field alerts given by CB are too long for the space dedicated to the main body of content. Therefore when the ajax fires and a message is displayed the whole form shifts to the left.

To fix this issue I could just take of the right sidebar modules on the registration page, but it seems like the registration page uses the same layout as the homepage and I need the sidebar for my homepage.

If the registration page just absolutely can't be changed from using the homepage layout please let me know how to change the error messages that are displayed. That way I can make them short enough to fit in the main content area.

Attached below are two pictures demonstrating my issue.

You are more or less right with "it uses the same layout". It uses the same MenuItemID, and therefor it uses the same module assignments. But the URLs are different, and have additional params:

Profile page
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&Itemid=999

Register
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=registers

Profile edit
index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userDetails&Itemid=999

To get rid of the modules, you could use an extension like AdvancedModuleManager, MetaMOD. I think both are capable of checking the URL for the differences! Worth a try.

Thanks for the suggestion pepperstreet. Since I use several of NoNumber's modules I tried AdvancedModuleManager. It worked like a charm.

There might be other solutions for this particular issue... but this one has a GUI, right
Glad, that it worked out for you. You are welcome!
