Hello,

Is it possible to convert all or some characters of a field (name / last name) to uppercase?

Thank you for your support!

Hi,
you can write a simple plugin to make this, follow these steps:
- Download, Install and Enable Skeleton Plugin (you will find it at http://docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/triggers)
- Open file /plugins/jsn/skeleton/skeleton.php
- Remove samples functions: triggerFieldAvatarUpdate, triggerProfileUpdate
- add function like this:

public function triggerProfileUpdate($user, &$data, $changed, $isNew)
{
/* Easy Profile Firstname and Lastname uppercase */
$data['firstname'] = strtoupper( $data['firstname'] ); // you can use ucfirst to upper only first char
$data['lastname'] = strtoupper( $data['lastname'] ); // you can use ucfirst to upper only first char

/* triggerProfileUpdate function is triggered before Easy Profile store procedure but after Joomla user store procedure, so you need to update also Joomla user Name with a simple query */
$name = $data['firstname'] . ' ' . $data['lastname']; // Firstname and Lastname are already uppercase
$db=JFactory->getDbo();
$query='UPDATE #__users SET name=' . $db->quote( $name ) . ' WHERE id=' . $user->id;
$db->setQuery( $query )->execute();
}

docs about our triggers at http://docs.easy-profile.com/index.php/article/triggers

NOTE: This code is not tested and not supported, this is only for example purpose. You need to have a minimum of PHP and Joomla Dev knowledges

To store in database if possible - that would be to have the names always displayed in uppercase, whatever the component used.
