RSM,
That note is there to make sure that you don't have people register for the forum that are not registered in CB.
This is not a problem if you want that setup. The note mainly remains just as a warning. In the original versions of the plugin it used the same user_id for phpBB as CB was using. In that older scenario if a user registered in phpBB without registering in CB the user_id numbers would conflict... This is not an issue anymore. We now tage the CB profile with the phpbb ID that matches the next empty spot in the phpbb_users table.
Unfortuneately, if you want to turn registration off you either have to hack phpBB's core files (at least 1 anyway) or install a mod to do that for you...
If you manually want to hack their registration form to redirect to the CB registration follow these steps:
1) Open phpBB's profile.php file (located in their main directory)
2) In their file (do a search for "register" without the quotes)... near line 100 you should see
include($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/usercp_register.'.$phpEx);
replace it with the following code (
changing URL to your site)
if (@preg_match('/Microsoft|WebSTAR|Xitami/', getenv('SERVER_SOFTWARE')))
{
header('Refresh: 0; URL="
mysite.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=registers
"');
echo '<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"><html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url="

Redirect
