Customized registration form transferable to CB

I have made a customized registration form in Joomla and am wondering if I install community Builder if I will still be able to use this form.

I need to use this existing form as it is customized because the website is for kids so it must follow COPPA rules: (see http://www.coppa.org/coppa.htm )

The registration form is here:

http://clubbsg.com/registration

The main thing to notice is that if you choose a birthdate say from 2002, it unhides a parents email field and then the parent is sent a welcome email. In addition the parent's email is inserted in the JOS_Users table. If a kid is 14 or above, they get the welcome email and it is a different email then if the parent gets it.

These files have been altered in a big way to make to make this customization work:

english.php
registration.html.php
registration.php
joomla.php

My question is then, if I put CB in, can I keep using this same registration form?

from what i see, you could probably do all of this in CB without hacking/modifying any code.

In addition, the parent's email field appears twice so it can verified.

oops - guess i didn't notice the logic behind this.

Right not as simple as i thought.
You would need to make changes - as you did in your case. CB does not currently support 2 different workflows.
