bridging coppermine with SMF

I have the following issue when trying to bridge coppermine and SMF
The bridging looks OK. When I log in to coppermine, I get redirected to SMF, log in , and get back to coppermine.
I also created a custom link in coppermine that links to SMF, and this works fine.

BUT: WHAT I WANT:
When a new user register, he is redirected to SMF and register in SMF. When he clicks register, I want this new user to get redirected to coppermine, and not stay in the forum..
As coppermine is my main site, I think the user is confused and can't find the way back to coppermine.
So how can I automatic redirect the user to coppermine when he hits the register button?

Hm. I'm new to both coppermine and SMF. But I think it would be strange if a new user in my coppermine site ends up in my forum site?
I think this will be confusing..

I don't dispute that, but if does not support directing after registration then there is nothing I can do.

@sturle: the feature you're requesting would have to be built into SMF, not Coppermine. We're not familiar with SMF, we're cpg-devs. Hence your request is a bit invalid here. As a workaround: why don't you just add a link to your SMF pages that allow your users to go back to coppermine once they logged in / registered?

you have two open threads: one about bridging with SMF (this one), the other about bridging with phpBB. What BBS are you actually using? Is this a case of split personalities ;)? Or did you try one BBS and then decided to go for another? If this is the case, then resolve the thread that is no longer valid!

Hi.
I'm trying out both phpbb and smf..I will delete one of the threads when I'v made a decision.

Sure, I could add a link on the SMF page, but that will not be very elegant...So you don't have any idea?
Have to look in to the SMF documentation then, or try out som redirects on the server.
The redirect works fine on login, my thought was that this should be the same after registration.
