Hi.

Some users complain that they can't register at our website when their name contains a apostrophe. So someone is know as: "Ben 't Harde" Firstname = Ben and lastname='t Harde

We he fills in the registrationform an error is shown that he has to choose a username, but we disabled the username field in the registration, because we use the e-mailadress to sign inn.

How can I fix this?

CB splits the name field with a space. You need to change your name style within CB > Configuration to first and last name or tell them to stop putting a space after their first name before the apostrophe.

If username is disabled then it trys to use Name as the username. This may not be such a good idea as in cases of same name it'll say they can't register. You can still ask for username (call it "Nickname" if you would like) and use email for login.
