Hello,
i have a little problem. I have a component (OS Service Booking) that link the name field of the registration form to the core name field of Joomla.

The problem is in Easyprofile, i can choose if i want to use Firstname + Lastname or only Name.
But if i choose only name, it is not the name field but the firstname field used.

So, when i register with OSB, the firstname field is empty in my user profile page. I dont have "name" field.
Is there a way to "say" to the firstname field of Easyprofil to "get" the content of name field of Joomla ?

(Joomla 3.9.27)

Unfortunately this is not possible natively, anyway you can manage this with a simple plugin:
- 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){ 

    if(empty($data['firstname'])) $data['firstname'] = $user->name;

}

Hi,
yes, because $data var is passed by reference (not by value), this is useful if you want to change values that will be stored, for example 
$data['sum_field'] = $data['operator1'] + $data['operator2'];

OK, so the code is right, but that not fill the field.
Is there anything else to do with the plugin to make it work (apart from publishing it of course) ?

Hi,
sorry for late reply, we are thinking about this issue. Why all other Easy Profile fields are filled? unfortunately we does not have experience with OS Service Booking, so for us a bit difficult to understand why it is empty.

Also, it's possible for you to provide to us your site details (a staging site is better). If yes then you can use the form below the reply in "Site Details" tab
