Suppress title on Individual Registration form?

Is there any way to suppress the title on the Individual or Group Registration forms? It shows 'Individual Registration' or 'Group Registration' at the top of the form in a way that doesn't fit with our site.

Method 1:
You will have to edit PHP files to achieve this... Both files you need to edit are located in /components/com_eventbooking/view/register/tmpl/

For the individual registration form, search for and remove the following line from default.php :
For the group registration, search for and remove this line from group.php : .
For both edited files, SAVE-AS to /templates/YOUR-TEMPLATE/html/com_eventbooking/register/ to save it as a template override (create the folders are required).

Method 2
You *COULD* also hide these 2 page headings using CSS instead of editing PHP code (not as professional as removing the unwanted code, but it works!)
To do this using CSS *INSTEAD* of editing the PHP files, open /media/com_eventbooking/assets/css/custom.css and add the following line to the end of the file:
Both options (PHP saved as a template override, or CSS) will be upgrade-safe.

Brilliant, James. Modified CSS and it worked perfectly. Because it still left the vertical space that the title would have taken, when I have more time I'll try the PHP method instead, to see if it will eliminate that empty line. Thanks very much!

That space can probably be removed by CSS as well. If you would like to just do it all with CSS, post a link to an active event with both individual and group registration, and I can take a look at what code you'll still need to add. My guess is that your template's CSS is doing something that is preventing the space from collapsing, but EB's custom.css file should be able to override it.

Thanks, James. Here's the link. Ignore the slightly depressing subject matter J

Suppressing the title allowed me to move it below the logo. You can see the extra white space above the logo where the old title *would* have been. My next challenge is to pretty up the form below from the default single-column layout, but I'm afraid it's beyond my very limited CSS skills. Want to put some related fields beside each other (First Name/Last Name, City/State/Country, etc.) It may be beyond what I can get from this forum.

Thanks again for your help.

Hi James,
thanks for the useful info above. I have used it to override the shopping cart registration page layout.

1 thing I noted, which I thought should be mentioned, is that the override path I needed to use was /templates/YOUR-TEMPLATE/html/com_eventbooking/register/

Just want to mention that you can create template override using Joomla template manager docs.joomla.org/J3.x:How_to_use_the_Temp...r#Creating_Overrides

Thanks for the note on the template manager, Tuan!

The one reason that I often go the CSS route myself is that it is a bit more version-proof. With template overrides and an extension that is updated regularly, you run the risk of new features not working or occasionally the extension breaking because the new code that the developer has added is being overridden by the old template override. Most the time, however, there is no problem with overriding. CSS can also be a bit less intimidating for the non-coding user. The downfall is that PHP is still processing the content, the content is still appearing in the HTML code anyways, if the user's browser doesn't support CSS (boy would our modern websites all be in big trouble!) then they see the content even though it is supposed to be hidden, and that you are likely having to make another file call for the CSS file.

Oops! Thanks for pointing that out Donal. I will modify the original post so that I don't accidentally lead others astray!

The spacing is actually part of your template and is present site-wide.


I did some checking on other pages, and I think that your site might actually look better throughout if you eliminate the padding-top site-wide. If your template provides a CSS override or customization, add: to the end of the existing code. If not, modify the CSS file when the t3-mainbody selector appears, and either add the above code to that file somewhere after the existing selector, or change the existing 25px to 0px.
