Resolved Auto-generate username?

Hi, we just tested our registration form after setting the option to use the email address and not the username for login.

We noticed that while doing it this way, the "username" field vanished from the registration form, but a username was auto-created, taking the name and replacing spaces with underscores.

Is it possible to override this auto-generated username and use our own auto-generated numeric ID for the username instead?

Thanks,
Greg

Hi,
this is not a feature but you can do this with simple code hack, the code to generate is into file /plugins/user/jsn_users/jsn_users.php at line 408 (in upcoming release at line 409)

$username=preg_replace( '/\W/', '', str_replace( ' ', '_', stripslashes( $name ) ) );

If you want to change username for URL purpose, we recommend you to change file /components/com_jsn/route.php (instead previous solution), this file set rule in Joomla to build and parse SEF urls (you need to have PHP and Joomla Knowledge to do this).

If I edit the plugin, I'll have to re-edit it every time we install an update, right?
