How to populate the register.php username using a post form?

[Coume]

Hello,

I have a form that in which I use a POST method to transmit the $desired_username

I would like to use this $desired_username value to populate the username field in register.php

I have been stuck for hours and can't understand how it should be done

Thanks in advance
Ludo

Create a plugin and add your code under the register_form_complete hook.
Assign your desired name to the $username variable.

I simply edited register.php after finding the vbulletin input cleaner. I was not aware that the $_POST array was not available in VB.

Thanks

it's not a good idea to edit files like that since any changes will be over written when you or someone else updates to a new version. It's very hard to keep track of modifications that way too. This is one reason why we have hooks in the vbulletin files.
