I'm not getting this to work at all.
My settings:
for Joomla
In Joomla back-end (1.5.10)
Site->Global Configuration->System:
User Settings:
-Allow user registration: NO
-New User account activation: YES
-Front-end user parameters: HIDE
in CB (1.2.1):
CB Configuration Manager->Registration->Allow User Registration: yes, independently of global site settings.
With the above I got a 403 error (not allowed). Could this be because of SEF or ...I cannot figure out to be honest as it seems my settings are correct.
