Hi, thanks for this module.

I would like to have usernames like "John Smith" instead of "jsmith". A checkbox in module configuration could ask:
[ ] use Full Name "John Smith" instead of "jsmith" as username

This would be relatively easy to implement, once I get situated with the git migration I'll probably implement options like this.

I just pushed some code that incorporates these features, if you could, please test the 7.x-1.x-dev branch once it gets packaged and post any issues.

I installed the 7.x-1.x-dev branch as suggested in #2. It adds a "Configure" link for the module on the modules page. If I click on it I get the admin/config/people page. But I can not find any way to configure the use of the full first name. I also can not find it in the account settings or somewhere else on the configuration page. The module uses the full first name now without a possibility to configure it.

Strange I have it working on my copy, I'll have to check out what's going on. It should bring you to:
admin/config/people/realname_registration

The feature itself works nicely for me.

The 'configure' link in the module pages doesn't take me there. However, in the Admin menu, Configure > People > Realname Registration does.

I think this module could be even nicer if it had token-style support for choosing how the name is displayed. For instance:
[First initial - capitalized]
[First initial - lowercase]
[First name - capitalized]
[First name - lowercase]
[Last initial - capitalized]
[Last initial - lowercase]
[Last Name - capitalized]
[Last Name - lowercased]

That way, you could make "JDoe", "John, Doe", "john.doe", etc.
not a serious need on my part, but thought I'd suggest it.

oddly, when I double checked the Config link in admin/modules , it did take me to the right place ( admin/config/people/realname_registration )

I am facing the same problem. I can't see configuration link in module menu. I even went to page admin/config/people/realname_registration but there is nothing. I am using 7.x.11 :(

These latest changes are still only on the 7.x-1.x-dev branch, download the development branch and let me know if you still are having these issues.

I updated to 7.x-1.20. now when i change to first name and last seperated by space, I get the error shown in attachment
It also removes the username field on registration form. I mean there is neither field for username nor for first name and last name

I still need to write some documentation but here's a summarized version:

Go to Configuration > Accounting settings > Manage fields

Add (2) textfields that displays on the registration form and is required

If you named them field_firstname and field_lastname, go to the Realname registration configuration page and type though field names in. Now when someone registers it will use those fields and preserve the first and last name in those fields (and create the username in the format you choose).
