Changing Registration page
 

Rather than ask users for their desired username, I want to enforce a standard of first initial and their full last name. I don't even want to ask them for what they'd like for a username.

Am I better off creating a brand new register template, or modifying the existing one to remove the username text box, add a firstname and lastname textbox, and some logic to create a username based on the entered information?

Thanks in advance

I am in the exact same boat. Anyone?

leonic - I was actually successful in modifying the default registration page to ask for the first and last name of the user, then just did some string manipulation in the logic to create a username. Once you get used to how the data flows, it's actually not too difficult. :)
