Please Enter Your Name: message....on Submit

When I enter information into my form, all goes well until I click the submit button. The data falls into the database, which is good, but I get the attached message. A Pink line that says...

Please enter your name:

I have no field in my form called name. Where is this coming from?
Thanks.

Hi diana,

I can tell you that the message is a Joomla error message - no idea where it's coming from though!

If you take a Form Backup from the icon in the Form Manager an dpost i there then I can restore it and take a look.

Hi diana,

I think you have enabled the joomla registration or the cb registration plugins in the plugins tab, disable any one there and save the form!

This worked. thanks.

Hi. I'm just trying to set the registration form for my website, and having the same problem (except, it doesnt even update the database). I ended up with that pink "Enter your name" message. I followed the tutorial steps, and specifically one of those steps says "Under the "Plugins" tab, make sure that the "Joomla Registration" option is ticked..."
If I disable it, I dont get the error anymore, but die in a blank screen.

Hi Jorge,

you need to use fields' NAMES but not fields IDs in the plugin config page! I think the tutorial was talking about ids because they were the same in his code!

ARRRRRGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! this would have been good info to have.
