How can I hide unnecessary fields in the student registration form?
Hello, this has been discussed on the forum in the past, so perhaps read the following thread, and then add to it if you need further input:

Hi Ross, thanks
yes, I did some research on the forum before, but as most topics are old, and don’t have a solution, I decided to post to see if there is any newer solution to this issue
Excellent, thanks for looking around first. At the moment, the suggestions made on the site are the best way to do it. Basically, you can use the Public Registration form for a very simple for, or hack the codebase to remove the fields you don’t need. The danger with this second approach is that you’ll lose your changes on upgrade, and so need to take care not to end up with a forked, and non-upgradable, codebase. At some point I’d like to address this by introducing customisation options to the Gibbon Core, but it is not on the immediate list. Ross.
Hi I’d prefer hacking the codebase to remove the unnecessary fields and I understand that I’ll lose the chabges upon upgrade.
My question now is, is the update forced? Or will there be a notification for new uodates and ill get to decide if i will proceed to the update. Or will the update be forced like it will be automatically uodat3d to newer versions? Thabks.
You will decide if you want to update or not. The update is therefore not forced at all.
This is some good news as I’ve done a bit of core hack on the interface. Was actually worried the update might be forced. Thank you @meierrom
You’re welcome!
