Is there a way to have this module work with existing users? All existing users see "You must enter a username." when they attempt to update their account. Also seen here http://drupal.org/node/909668.

Thanks,
Patrick

I've found this same issue occurs, if you've specified a pattern or php snippet that returns an empty value. i.e. if my pattern is set to '[uid]' I get the error, because at the point at which the username is calculated, a uid doesn't exist yet.

I've just been added as a co-maitainer for this module, so I see about getting this fixed, or at least have some better error logging.

Thanks! My issue has been with profile fields. I use separate first and last name fields for form the username. It might be the order of which fields are validated first.

Thanks again,
Patrick

See #1168728: Using UID as the username pattern results in a blank.
