I have a forum and the mobile app and would like to allow forum Registration throgh mobile app only. I mean if someone try to register through the website he gets a message that Registration is allowed through mobile app only.

Is it easy to do?
Any idea that might help?

Thank you

edit your register template to remove all registration form options, add a custom styled div explaining that registration is only available through the forum app and supply links on how to obtain the app.

Worse case scenario is you would have to revert the register template.

This way, when someone clicks register on the forum, they are directed to your customized version of the register page.

Here is an example register template that would work. (btw, just finished coding/styling it hope you enjoy!

)

Code:

{vb:stylevar htmldoctype}
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['enablefacebookconnect']"> xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"</vb:if> dir="{vb:stylevar textdirection}" lang="{vb:stylevar languagecode}">
<head>
	{vb:raw headinclude}

	{vb:cssfile register.css}
	<title><vb:if condition="$show['coppa']">{vb:rawphrase coppa} </vb:if>{vb:rawphrase register_at_x, {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}}</title>
{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}
</head>
<body>

{vb:raw header}
{vb:raw navbar}

<style type="text/css">

Thank you very much. I never thought of that. I thought of deleteing the register.php file but this also stopped the registeration from mobile.

Thanks again.
