Pass variables to Registration page

Hi,

Let say, I have a site (not a NodeBB site) and it has a newsletter form where users can subscribe by filling in their names & email addresses. After they hit submit, I'd like to redirect to the the forum site (Registration page).

Is it possible to pass variables (eg: email address/username) to Registration page via query string?
For example, https://community.nodebb.org/register?username=jack&email=jack@joe.com

What I want to achieve is to since users have filled their information earlier, albeit on a different site, the Registration form should have a prefilled form (ie: name and email address).

Thanks

Hi,
Me and a few other people have made an online game with an online authentication system and want to know if there is any way to use user accounts and their profile pages that have already been created to play the game as profiles to post on a nodebb forum.

To clarify, this is a question about seamlessly replacing the default nodebb registration and user profile system or hooking a replacement - though it would be preferable if features such as groups continued to work after having done so, we are not fussed about the forum fully working so long as users can start topics and use all the normal forum features. It would also be a big plus if it could do things like share sessions, so that you do not have to log in twice. As an example, Bethesda's community pages, which use nodebb, can do this.

I'd be greatful for any pointers or advice the community can give. I know this is quite an advanced question. Thank you!

@baris Yeah, I just checked and had disabled the registered user to have local login permission. But I think I checked verified and unverified user to have the privilege. But why that will cause a problem? I was obviously login as a guest. Why that permission would affect a guest user? The problem was solved btw :).

Thanks in advance for the help. I just want to know how nodebb works.

SOLVED

In case anyone else has this problem, here's where I found what I needed.

File: /nodebb/src/controllers/helpers.js
Methods: buildCategoryBreadcrumbs and buildBreadcrumbs

Editing those allowed me to get the behavior I was looking for. Although, I would be curious to know if there is a better way to do this without changing the source code.
