- Fixed in Code Base

- Medium
- Build: 5.3-dev
- # 45715
- Diff
- travisrisner:5.3-custom-registration-link
User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
Pull Request for Issue #45689 .
Summary of Changes
- Added support for a custom registration menu item link to the Users Login menu item (com_users).
- Introduced a new
customRegLinkMenuparameter in the menu item XML, mirroring the logic already present in the login module. - Login view (
default_login.php) now outputs the registration link based on this custom menu parameter, fully supporting language and menu routing if set. - Falls back to the default registration view if no menu is selected.
Testing Instructions
- Go to Menus > [Your Menu] > Add/Edit Login Menu Item.
- You will see a new parameter to select a "Registration Page" at the bottom of the Options tab (below Logout section)
- Select any menu item you want to use for user registration, or leave it unset for default behavior.
- Visit the front-end login page using this menu item.
- Confirm that the registration link points to your selected custom menu if set, or the default registration view if not.
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
- The registration link on the login page always points to the default registration view, with no way to override or select a custom menu item.
- No option to select a custom registration menu item in the login menu item parameters.
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
- Site admins can select a custom menu item for the registration link in the login menu item parameters.
- The login page registration link uses the selected menu item.
- If no menu item is selected, the link defaults to the standard registration view (existing behavior).

@brianteeman could you please test again? Only the indentations have been changed. Maybe a code review will be enough.

This is not a bug fix it is more a new feature. It is up to the 5.4 RM if they want to include it in 5.4 or if we are moving this directly to 6.0 @richard67 @muhme

@brianteeman @RickR2H @mothershedc @rosslace Whoever has time: Could you test again? The PR has received a code change so it needs to check if it still works. 2 tests are successful, so if you see that it has already received 2 new tests, all is done. Thanks in advance.
