Combine Firstname and Lastname fields to Name in Joomla Registration form

Hi,

i would like to combine the first and lastname in the joomla registration.
I already tried this topic: https://www.chronoengine.com/forums/posts/t95020/p326124/combine-firstname-and-lastname-fields-to-name-in-joomla-registration-form.html

But this doesnt work in Chronoforms V5


Thanks

Hi ralph024,

That should work in CFv5 OK.

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug results here.

Hi Ralph,

Nothing there to explain the problem. What code exactly do you have in the Custom Code action?

Bob

Hi Bob,

is used the following code:

<?php $new_data =  JRequest::getVar('firstname').JRequest::getVar('lastname');
JRequest::setVar('name', $new_data);
?>

Thanks!
Ralph

Hi Ralph,

If you had scrolled down a couple more posts you would have found the correct code:

<?php
$form->data['name'] = "{$form->data['firstname']} {$form->data['lastname']}";
?>

Bob

Hi Bob,

Thanks and you were right! 😶
I didnt see the other posts with the correct code...

One other question, do you know if i can store some extra information from my chronoform registration form into the Joomla user profile? As Country and Entity?

Thanks!

Hi Ralph,

Yes . . . but you have to do it with Custom Code to create/update the profile records. I found an example in this StackOverFlow answer

Bob

Hi Bob,

Thanks again! And i will try to create a custom code to create/update profile settings

Ralph
