Is there a way to change the url

http://www.domain.com/index.php?action=register

to

http://www.domain.com/index.php?action=SOMETHINGELSE

I have removed the link from the site, but people continue to use this to register because they know the url.

Set $enableNewRegistrations=FALSE; in setup_options.php and nobody will be allowed to sign up even using direct link.

I tried to set it to FALSE, and it still allows me to go directly to the URL.

and I can still sign up. This is strange.

open bb_functions.php and find!

if($GLOBALS['action']!='registernew' and $GLOBALS['user_id']==0 and $GLOBALS['adminPanel']!=1 and $GLOBALS['enableNewRegistrations']) $GLOBALS['l_menu'][2]="{$GLOBALS['l_sepr']} <a href=\"{$GLOBALS['main_url']}/{$GLOBALS['indexphp']}action=registernew\">{$GLOBALS['l_menu'][2]}</a> "; else $GLOBALS['l_menu'][2]='';


;)

Yeah, wish that would have worked also. When I changed it, I still was able to get through to the registernew.

Something is not right here...

open index.php and find

elseif($action=='registernew' and ($user_id==1 or $enableNewRegistrations)) {$step=0;require($pathToFiles.'bb_func_regusr.php');}

Something is not right here on your side definitely.

Maybe you have forgot to upload the modified file on server? :-)

My solution absolutely works with the latest release, I have tested it. It should work with any miniBB version 2.x incl. first beta releases. What version do you have?

Other suggestions just disable displaying of the registration form, but they do not disable the registering script itself, which is catched by action='register' not 'registernew'.
