It's a problem, however, if the function you want to overwrite is only called from outside the template files. thomasklaiber on "How let new user oneself establish a password, like a general forum?" http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-let-new-user-oneself-establish-a-password-like-a-general-forum#post-1789 Thu, 30 Nov 2006 19:41:53 +0000 thomasklaiber 1789@http://bbpress.org/forums/ It can be done by a plugin, using the actions <code>bb_new_user</code> and <code>extra_profile_info</code>. But the problem would be, that an random password must be generated (no access to tweak insert-function) and then updated to the password the user has chosen. The the user would receive an email with his random password and not with his chosen password. This isn't cool :( Does somebody know, if there is a plugin-way to overwrite/rewrite a whole function (like <code>bb_new_user();</code>)?

It serves a double purpose. The first is a record of a password for a user if they don't end up changing it and second of all, it makes sure that people register with an actual email address (which stops most spam bots right there) because they have to retrieve their password from email. If you need something, I would assume it would require a core hack unless someone can develop a plugin. Right now, I don't think anything is in the works.

Thanks a lot.
