Although you unpublish Joomla's login module and use CB's (Community Builder's), when someone hits to ...option= com_registration&task= register he/she enters to Joomla's core registration page and may skip required fields in CB registration form . This utility (mambot) fixes the issue. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A CB PLUGIN, IT'S A MAMBOT/PLUGIN.
NOTE FOR CB 1.0.2 USERS
- From on this CB Release the security risk has been fixed by CB Developers. Users may not be able to see Joomla's core login and registration system; in stead system gives an "You are not authorized.." message. However, in terms of ergonomy I recommend to use this mambot; because it's a very tiny mambot that redirects corresponding requests to the supposed pages.
Latest News ...........................
1. Joomla 1.5 compatible version is released!
2. Joomla 1.5 compatible version has further improved capabilities such as:
2.1. Plugin has now built-in support for Community Builder, JoomSuite User and AUser Manager!
2.2 The new version also enables administrators to use custom URL's for redirection.
The new feature mentioned in news 2.2 is designed for the following scenario:
You disabled Joomla registration from global configuration, however you have many links embedded in articles or some of the components redirects guest users to joomla registration page. The message guests users will see is, registration is disabled bla bla bla. However, you can create an article which in detail has information about why registration is disabled etc and configure the plugin to redirect to this content page. That's all!
VERY IMPORTANT NOTE
The above described features are available for Joomla 1.5.X version only.
------------
Now supports login redirections only for Joomla! 1.5, enjoy! See Changes tab in the release page for complete list of changes.

Thank you, it's very useful and acheives exactly what I wanted.
To get it working with SEF Urls: edit the plugin file and on line 37 replace the word onAfterInitialise with onAfterRoute.

This may be just the only case.. but worth mentioning since it costs me a lot of time. I installed the latest version dated Nov. 8, 2008 on Joomla 1.5.9 and CB 1.2. Everything seems fine until members started complaining about the retrieved lost password sent don't give them site access as expected. I thought it was CB at first. But after disable this plug in, CB lost password is sending out the correct password for our members again.
Must test on your site first.

I had a problem with Fireboard's registration using Joomla's core registration page. With this simply install I was able to have Fireboard registration use the same page as the registration used for Community Builder in the front page.

Does what it says it is going to do, no fuss, no muss. This should pretty much be a standard download for anyone using CB and J! 1.5.

It redirects the core joomla registration page to the community builder registration page, it does the same for the login page also. It fixes the problem where session timeouts cause both the joomla login and CB login to appear.
The new version of the plugin works great on Joomla 1.57 (legacy mode) with CB1.2RC3 . I'd recommend this plugin to anybody who is using Community Builder & Joomla 1.5x .

I have spent tonnes of time and in the end a fair amount of money, so that my registration system works through a SMS Payment system, that verifies age etc.
This for me was necessary as I run an adult site.
I had forced the CB registration etc, as I was pointed out, ages ago, so this pasting of the link never occured to me!
But then I read this, just by chance, and BANG, it bypassed my registration system totally!
This simple bot fixed the trick in a second.
THANKS!

This one mambot solved a HUGE problem for my many sites with restricted content! Simple and now I can really use the intro text as a "teaser" to join... Perfect! My website is now complete!

I never felt the need of this until I installed Acajoom for Newsletter as the register link of Acajoom directs to the Joomla Registration. Now I can easily redirect to CB registration using this simple mambot - Thanks to the developer.

This is in response to the previous review. Using the method mentioned in the review, the user will see the "You are not authorized to view this resource" message. However, with this mambot, it actually redirects you to the CB registration, which is less confusing to users who followed a link accidentally.
I give it a 5-star rating because i found this feature very important to any CB-enabled site, and this mambot does what it's supposed to do perfectly.

No longer needed as of CB 1.0.2
This version of CB allows you to disable Joomla user registration via Global Config, and then only allow CB registration.

Owner's reply
Please see http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,1236/Itemid,35/#rev-6307 There are a number reasons you may need to use this mambot;
- You may be using some components which requires registered user actions and redirects user to the Joomla registration page when the user is a guest. Via using this mambot a seamless redirect will occur in the background to the CB reg. page, however disabling joomla reg. via CB config will result in an error message which will perhaps confuse user.
- You may have a number of hard coded links embedded into content which points to the Joomla registration page.

Great bot, thanks! Never realized someone could bypass the CB login and find the standard Joomla registration form. Works well and now forwards to the CB login if someone tries the old form link.
bymartijn189 on October 14, 2006
You know... i am running joomla with CB for the past 2 years and i never... once thought of this... it's crazy... I installed it on my Joomla 1.0.11 installation and it work's awsome. The code inside the mambot is so simple (it just says "if the URL contains 'this' then redirect to 'that')....
Thank you Alaattin Kahramanlar for this eye opener
