[#7331] create user with the same firstname lastname

Hi

My method connection is email
My style of name is Firstname and Lastname
My format name is Name only

My input mask username is Name

When I create a new user with new email but Firstname and Lastname already exist, I have error message (user already exist).

I think that if I want to correct this, I have to change my style of name to email. But I don't want email appears (but username) when I'm on a user link.

So what's the solution.

You could set the fallback to Email then use CB Auto Actions to alter the Username after registration. Beyond that I recommend just making the username field available as we currently don't have a means of adding random characters onto the username in this case when it already exists.

If you set the Username field to not display on registration CB will still have to give them a username. It does this by falling back to whatever field you selected for it to use. This is configured within CB > Configuration > User Profile using the Username Fallback parameter. It should be defaulted to Email, but if it was changed to Name you could have issues since in Joomla Name is not unique. You'd need a way to make it unique. The best I can suggest is to set it back to Email then use CB Auto Actions acting on onAfterUserRegistration to alter their username to something more unique.

Have added a feature ticket to see if we can further improve the fallback behavior to automatically handle making it unique to avoid these situations.
