Here's a mod to require that the first and last name (surname) be included in the registration request. It only makes sure the names are not blank and add's the red "*" to the form. Two files must be changed:
Register.asp line 256 (after the line with the "end if" after a line that contains "<li>You may not use any of these"):
'####### Verify that a first and last name are included. if trim(Request.Form("FirstName")) = "" then Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must include a First Name.</li>" end if if trim(Request.Form("LastName")) = "" then Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must include a Surname.</li>" end if
inc_profile.asp line 299 and 305: Add the text: <font color=""" & strHiLiteFontColor & """>*</font> Before "Firstname:" (on line 299), and "Surname:" (on line 305)
What about when they edit their profiles or you modify them?
Search is your friend “I was having a mildly paranoid day, mostly due to the fact that the mad priest lady from over the river had taken to nailing weasels to my front door again.”
I have the same thing on my forum, except it is DOB, gender and country that are required. on or about line 1198 of my pop_profile.asp page is where i added the changes. Look for the lines:
if trim(Request.Form("Name")) = "" then
Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must choose a UserName</li>"
end if
and add the first name last name code that you added to register.asp page, after this code.
