I did this on a bbPress install recently… but rather than doing anything tricky programmatically, I just changed the links in the theme.
It worked great!
*ponder* dbone, if they use the must login to post link, they stay on the same page as they already are, so it shouldn’t be an issue, right?
I mean, all you really have to do is redirect registration to your profile manager tool.
Which file did you edit? I was not able to find it in the default theme.
I did find the code that creates the link in /bb-includes/function-bbtemplate.php, post_form(), line 311 for version 1.0.1.
I think it was the login.php file.
Definitely don’t edit any pages in bb-includes… create a /my-templates/ folder as described here!

I should have been more clear on where I am trying to update the link. After clicking on a forum from the front page the following is displayed at the bottom:
New Topic in this Forum
You must log in to post.
Looked in login.php and couldn’t find the line in question (I do have a template in my-templates).
I can try using the action bb_init but I don’t know how to pull in the content to apply a regex similar to WPs the_content filter.
Not sure if this is the best method but I don’t have more time to research and here is what I came up with:
1. Create a new file; /my-plugins/bb-template.php
2. Code:
add_filter('bb_template', '_bb_template');
function _bb_template($template)
{
if (preg_match('/login.php/i', $template))
{
header('Location: /myurl/');
exit();
}
return $template;
}
3. Activate in bb-admin
