But the current issue is that it only takes literally 5 seconds to create another account becuase the new account details will be sent to the same email address over and over again.</p> <p>anyway, i never thought of the redirecting I guess im just losing alot of sleep, yeahs nice idea. .htaccess </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17367 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:35:50 +0000 _ck_ 17367@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>nv1962, it would be a good plugin to learn/practice from. Roughly 3-5 lines total. Essentially you'd add an action to bb_send_headers and just like my plugin above, if the bb_get_location=="register-page" you echo the redirect header for the wordpress page (and then do a die() so no other code can execute until it redirects). </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17365 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:27:41 +0000 nv1962 17365@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>The sole (arguably flimsy) reason I cleaned-out the register.php file is pure paranoia: to avoid directly injected calls that somehow (mysteriously) don't get caught by Apache (htaccess).</p> <p>Let's say I'm not too confident in my mad php skillz to write such a plugin... I'll try it with a redirect instead. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17364 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:22:47 +0000 _ck_ 17364@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Well login integration is not as important as the register part. As far as your instructions, I wouldn't recommend deleting the contents of a core file but the redirect part is okay.</p> <p>It occurs to me, it's actually possible to redirect the register page in bbpress to the wordpress side via plugin with no edits required anywhere.</p> <p>Remember that bbPress registration process should catch up to the WordPress side eventually. In fact I like it's layout better but WordPress's is more mature code-wise. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17363 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:17:53 +0000 nv1962 17363@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Sorry for the tangent _ck_ but... you really recommend redirecting all <em>logins</em> to WP, too? As in, <a href="http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/simple-integration-tip-for-new-registration">this silly thing</a> I just posted about "unifying" registration on the WP side? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17362 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:07:56 +0000 _ck_ 17362@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Yes, this is why I always recommend to people when integrating with WordPress that they redirect all login and registration links to the wordpress side. It's had years of development in that area.</p> <p>In any case, here is a simple plugin to prevent duplicate email addresses. Unfortunately bbPress has no way to place custom error messages on the page without template hacking but this should do:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php /* Plugin Name: no duplicate email addresses Author: _ck_ */ if ($_POST &#38;&#38; bb_get_location()==&quot;register-page&quot;) {add_filter(&#39;bb_verify_email&#39;,&#39;no_duplicate_email&#39;);} function no_duplicate_email($email) { if ($email) {global $bbdb; if (!$bbdb-&gt;get_row($bbdb-&gt;prepare(&quot;SELECT * FROM $bbdb-&gt;users WHERE user_email = %s&quot;, $email))) {return $email;} else {add_action(&#39;bb_foot&#39;,&#39;no_duplicate_email_alert&#39;); return false;}} } function no_duplicate_email_alert() {echo &quot;&lt;scr&quot;.&quot;ipt&gt;alert(&#39;&quot;.__(&quot;email address already registered&quot;).&quot;&#39;);&lt;/script&gt;&quot;;} ?&gt;</code></pre> <p>(bbPress 0.9 or higher required) </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/registering-with-another-users-email#post-17361 Wed, 16 Jul 2008 23:00:46 +0000 nv1962 17361@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Impersonation might be a cause for concern.

The password email would go to that email address, correct?
