Can I remove Displayname from user registration (xoops 2.2.3)

Hi.

I quite like the ability to easily add fields to the registration and user profile screens.

However I can't find where the Displayname option is.

I don't see the need for it and want it removed from the registration process.

Can anyone tell me where this field is?

If not I guess I can remove it from the register.php file?? But will this have any effect on the rest of the registration process?

I notice it has a * by it, so if I just remove it from the register.php file, will people still be able to register?

I have tried removing displayname from /modules/profile/register.php

this did nothing so I am trying to remove it from /modules/profile/include/form.php

I have now managed to remove it from the registration form, however when I try to register a user, I fill the compulsary fields and then hit submit, at this point I get an error:

Quote:
Displayname is too short. It must be more than 3 characters.
ERROR: Displayname taken.


I have obviously missed something, can someone please tell me how to remove this field from my registration process?

Thanks for any tips on this one.

Dave

I would also like to know this. I saw an option somewhere (in the latest release, that I cant find now that I understood allowed me as webmaster to use only one (i.e. login name is the same as display name, so no need for display name). is this possible?

I don't know if you can remove it but you could set that field to be invisible for some groups and not displaied in registration page. I think is the same as you remove it, for the registered users or another groups.
Don't follow me. I'm lost too.

Ok,

I would settle for that, but how do I do it?

So far I have been unable to identify an option to hide this field?

Thanks

I think you are right. I did this for ICQ and other fields, but the display name cannot be set hidden at admin>>modules>>Extended profile>>fields.

Ok, I found something that seems to work. In profiles/register.php found this lines:

if ($op != "register") {
    $newuser->setVar('uname', isset($_POST['uname']) ? trim($_POST['uname']) : '');
    $newuser->setVar('loginname', isset($_POST['loginname']) ? trim($_POST['loginname']) : '');
    $newuser->setVar('email', isset($_POST['email']) ? trim($_POST['email']) : '');


and modify this way:

if ($op != "register") {
    $newuser->setVar('uname', isset($_POST['loginname']) ? trim($_POST['loginname']) : '');
    $newuser->setVar('loginname', isset($_POST['loginname']) ? trim($_POST['loginname']) : '');
    $newuser->setVar('email', isset($_POST['email']) ? trim($_POST['email']) : '');


Then open profiles/include/forms.php and comment the following lines:

$elements[0][] = array('element' => new XoopsFormText(_PROFILE_MA_DISPLAYNAME, "uname", $uname_size, 75, $user->getVar('uname', 'e')), 'required' => true);
$weights[0][] = 0;


and

$elements[0][] = array('element' => new XoopsFormText(_PROFILE_MA_DISPLAYNAME, 'uname', 25, 75, $user->getVar('uname', 'e')), 'required' => 0);
$weights[0][] = 0;


Hope this help!

Works *almost* perfect.
If you choose du Edit your Account you will get the errormessage "Displayname is too short. It must be more than 2 characters." no matter what you try to Edit.


Find these lines in your modules/profile/edituser.php
$edituser->setVar('name', $myts->stripSlashesGPC(trim($_POST['name'])));
$edituser->setVar('uname', $myts->stripSlashesGPC(trim($_POST['[b]uname[/b]'])));


and change it to
$edituser->setVar('name', $myts->stripSlashesGPC(trim($_POST['name'])));
$edituser->setVar('uname', $myts->stripSlashesGPC(trim($_POST['[b]loginname[/b]'])));


Then find
$avatar->setVar('avatar_file', $uploader->getSavedFileName());
$avatar->setVar('avatar_name', $xoopsUser->getVar('[b]uname[/b]'));
$avatar->setVar('avatar_mimetype', $uploader->getMediaType());


and change it to
$avatar->setVar('avatar_file', $uploader->getSavedFileName());
$avatar->setVar('avatar_name', $xoopsUser->getVar('[b]loginname[/b]'));
$avatar->setVar('avatar_mimetype', $uploader->getMediaType());
