Make real name a required field for user registration

I would like to make 'real name' a required field for user registration.

I have taken a look at register.php and userinfo.php and my head is spinning.

I know squat about php but have made some smaller changes by trial and error. This one has really got me stumped though and I'd appreciate a push in the right direction.

Thanks!

Re: Make real name a required field for user registration

In include/registerform.php ,aprox line 31-36 insert:
le="color: #000000"><?php $user_from =isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['name']) ?$myts->makeTboxData4PreviewInForm($HTTP_POST_VARS['name']) :"";

now lines 39 - 45 insert:
le="color: #000000"><?php $name_text=new XoopsFormText (_US_REALNAME, "name", 26, 100,$name);


Text Box in lines 75-90:
le="color: #000000"><?php $reg_form->addElement($name_text); // insert name

something thus:
Quote:
$reg_form = new XoopsThemeForm(_US_USERREG, "userinfo", "register.php");
$reg_form->addElement(new XoopsFormText(_US_NICKNAME, "uname", 26, 25, $uname), true);
$reg_form->addElement($name_text); // insert name

for obligatory field insert( about line 105-106 ):
le="color: #000000"><?php $reg_form->setRequired($name_text);

NOW register.php:
lines 131 - 135 insert:
le="color: #000000"><?php echo _US_REALNAME.":".$myts->makeTboxData4Preview($name)."<br />"; //real name

lines 156 - 162
le="color: #000000"><?php <input type='hidden' name='name'value='".$myts->makeTboxData4PreviewInForm($name)."'/>

Lines 190 -195 :
le="color: #000000"><?php $newuser->setVar('name', $name);

finish

saludos y espero sea de utilidad!

Re:Make real name a required field for user registration

How do you add more than one required field?

I tried
le="color: #000000"><?php $reg_form->setRequired($lname_text, $name_text, $email_text);


But it only makes the first one ($lname_text) required, the others are not. Email sort of works because once you submit it checks it for formatting, but name won't work at all.

I also tried
le="color: #000000"><?php $reg_form->setRequired($lname_text); $reg_form->setRequired($name_text); $reg_form->setRequired($email_text);


This just breaks the page (blank page)

Any suggestions?

Here's how I added the fields:
le="color: #000000"><?php $name = isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['name']) ? $myts->makeTboxData4PreviewInForm($HTTP_POST_VARS['name']) : ""; $name_text = new XoopsFormText(_US_NAME, "name", 25, 60, $name); $lname = isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['lname']) ? $myts->makeTboxData4PreviewInForm($HTTP_POST_VARS['lname']) : ""; $lname_text = new XoopsFormText(_US_LNAME, "lname", 25, 60, $lname); .... $reg_form->addElement($name_text); $reg_form->addElement($lname_text);

le="color: #000000"><?php $reg_form->addElement($name_text); $reg_form->addElement($lname_text);


Add a second parameter, true, to those fields
le="color: #000000"><?php $reg_form->addElement($name_text, true); $reg_form->addElement($lname_text, true);

I almost got this thing working. How do you make it so that the real name also shows up on the User activation key notification sent to webmasters (when activation type is set to 'activation by administrator').

Please can somebody answer this and I will be all set.
