[SOLVED] duplicate username problem

Hi,

We use CB on a website for a customer ( www.de4emusketier.nl )

There are over 3500 users and we have the problem that someone can't create an account because the username is not available anymore. But we let them login with emailadres and won't let them see or change the username.

Can we set CB to use always emailadres as username and / or copy/sync the emailadres as username?

Now and then users have the same names, but we don't want to add them manually.

I hope you can help me.

You can force the username to email address using CB Auto Actions. Example as follows.

Type: Field
Trigger: onAfterUserRegistration
Access: Everybody
Field: Username
Operator: Set
Value:
This won't fix existing users though, you'll need to fix them manually (database query ran on your database directly can be used to do this for example).

Thank you; will try this.

Is this fix also working when someone changes his e-mailadress?

Tried the trigger you adviced, but it does not work.

These are my setting; Please have a look at the attachment.

It only works after registration. If you need it to work after profile update then you need add the after profile update trigger to the triggers variable (it's in the triggers dropdown). This usage is already confirmed working by multiple users so it does work (also confirmed it working) unless you've something else doing a save after the action that's reverting the change.

And what does the onAfterUserRegistration different from the onStartSaveUserRegistration ?

Because when someone types his or her name and it is the same as someone else, the error occurs when the hit the button register.

beceause with my settings the message 'username exist' still exists.

The trigger onAfterUpdate does works.

As attachment my settings again.
