Redirect user registration

Post by Thunder86 »

Hey!

I used the search but all hits are quite old and I don't know if they are still working.

I integrated the phpbb in a Wordpress site which shares the database with the phpbb. Instead of using the phpbb registration, I want to use just the WP registration.

How can I redirect all phpbb registration links to the WP registration?

Have a look at wp-w3all-phpbb on the Wordpress site, it states it’s up to date having been updated 2 days ago and tested on 3.3.7.

There are others:

This doesn’t answer my question! I already use the w3all plugin!

My question is how to edit the phpbb code that all registrations links in the phpbb will be automatically redirected to the WP registration.

I was under the impression you could do that within w3all.

No the plugin use both registrations due to the fact that the databases are synchronised.

As example it would be nice, if this link is redirected to the WP registration.

It’s been a while but in navbar_header.html (not tested)

Replace

Code: Select all

<a href="{U_REGISTER}" role="menuitem">
With

Code: Select all

<a href=http://yourlink.com>
Purge the cache.

Make sure you back up the html file before editing.

Thanks!

Do you know any possibility to change the parameters for {U_REGISTER} which will redirect every request to the WP registration ?

I would just do this with .htaccess redirect. I'd check their documentation and/or their support section because that is something many people would want. Frankly I'd be surprised if it wasn't addressed.

Bit of warning, I would test breaking the bridge because if you lose support for the bridge down the road, even years from now, you could be left with a giant mess on your hands.

Okay I have thought there is an easy way to redirect all {U_REGISTER} links in phpbb by changing the variable in the code.

That will probably work much more easier than changing all html files manual.

If you want to go that route common template variables are found at the bottom of includes/functions.php . The issue there is you need to maintain the edit through updates.
