[SOLVED] Change Customer Registration Link

[angel_dope]

Hello, we're going to use Prestashop and have it almost ready, but we've found an issue: using the webservice, I've imported the users we already have on our website. What I want to do now is that when a new customer want to register an account, he should register on our website, not on Prestashop. I've found the file authentication.tpl in the themes/classic/templates/customer/ folder which contains the following code:

{extends file='page.tpl'}

{block name='page_title'}
  {l s='Log in to your account' d='Shop.Theme.Customeraccount'}
{/block}

{block name='page_content'}
    {block name='login_form_container'}
      <section class="login-form">
        {render file='customer/_partials/login-form.tpl' ui=$login_form}
      </section>
      <hr/>
      {block name='display_after_login_form'}
        {hook h='displayCustomerLoginFormAfter'}
      {/block}
      <div class="no-account">
        <a href="{$urls.pages.register}" data-link-action="display-register-form">
          {l s='No account? Create one here' d='Shop.Theme.Customeraccount'}
        </a>
      </div>
    {/block}
{/block}

I thought that if I change this section

 

<div class="no-account">
        <a href="{$urls.pages.register}" data-link-action="display-register-form">
          {l s='No account? Create one here' d='Shop.Theme.Customeraccount'}
        </a>
</div>

To this

<div class="no-account">
        <a href="http://www.domain.com/registratio" >
          {l s='No account? Create one here' d='Shop.Theme.Customeraccount'}
        </a>
</div>

It would work, but nothing happened. If I go to the login page, the link for new customer registration is still the same than before the change.

How can I change this link and achieve what I'm searching for?

 

Thank you and best regards

Clear the cache in Performace section if you done changes to template files

[angel_dope]

Yeah, that worked. Thank you

By the way, if it helps anyone else, the correct folder is /your-theme/customer/ and the file is authentication.tpl 

And also I've disabled the guest checkout and the paypal express payment, so there's no way for customers to register new users through prestashop

That's strange. I did the exact same thing, with no results whatsoever. Even renamed the file to see if it broke the website (if it was being used), but it didn't. And I did clear the cache twice, and CTRL + F5. 

I wish there was an easy way to track down the files used by the site, but even the inspector can only tell me so much.

 

EDIT: Turns out something did change, but not where I wanted it to change. I changed the link on the login page. I want to change the link on the top menu bar where users can register directly. Guess I'll keep looking!
