As of version 1.5.3, supports search engine friendly urls (SEF)! Thanks goes to "Schandiwe".


FROM NOW ON, this plugin is not only for Community Builder; but also supports other user management components. Read on...

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.
