Manditory fields for user registration? [XOOPS general usage questions]

Wanted to know if there is a way to make some of the fields MANDITORY for user registrations.

use smartprofile module or you need to hack register.php file.

For example: How to make Name field as required ?

Edit register.php then add:

$name = isset($_POST['name']) ? $myts->stripSlashesGPC($_POST['name']) : '';

before:

$uname = isset($_POST['uname']) ? $myts->stripSlashesGPC($_POST['uname']) : '';

and add:

<input type='hidden' name='name' value='".$myts->htmlSpecialChars($name) ."' />

before:

<input type='hidden' name='uname' value='".$myts->htmlSpecialChars($uname)."' />

and add:

$newuser->setVar('name', $name, true);

before:

$newuser->setVar('uname', $uname, true);

Now edit include/registerform.php then add:

$reg_form->addElement(new XoopsFormText(_US_REALNAME, 'name', 30, 60, $myts->htmlSpecialChars($name)), true);

before:

$uname_size = $xoopsConfigUser['maxuname'] < 25 ? $xoopsConfigUser['maxuname'] : 25;

That's it!

This hack based on autologin hack and working on 2.0.18.1 or older.
