Question

I want to change my customer registration page to a under construction page. I use magento 1.9. for example, when customer goes to customer/account/create see just a text not any form

Answer 1

You can do it by two ways:

1 - Set new template and remove default registration form

Add following code at:

app/design/frontend/{package}/{theme}/layout/customer.xml

<customer_account_create>
    <remove name="customer_form_register"/>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="core/template" name="uc" template="customer/uc.phtml" />
    </reference>
</customer_account_create>

Create uc.phtml at:

app/design/frontend/{package}/{theme}/template/customer/uc.phtml

2 - Override phtml at theme level and remove form and add you new content

copy following from:

app/design/frontend/base/default/template/customer/form/register.phtml

to

app/design/frontend/{package}/{theme}/template/customer/form/register.phtml

Hope above will help!
