Hello there,

Would it be possible to add an option to Login Toboggan so that new users are not required to provide an email address upon registration? I work with kids in underserved areas and many of my users do not have an email address. It would be great if this module allowed them to provide a password upon registration and did not force them to provide an email to confirm their subscription. Would it be possible to do this for 4.7 without having to hack core?

Thank you, thank you, thank you,

Leo

not an expert with thismodule.. but pretty sure what you are looking for is there already.

- select to "Set password & Immediate login"

it is recommended that you define a trimmed permissions role but you can still just set to "authenticated"

it will also ask for an email address.. but they could just enter anything.. since no useful info at this point ni the email - since they are now authenticated and they entered their own password

but i do agree.. a cleaner version of this would seem to be one of the more popular cases.

i.e. enter my password, log me in as authenticated (and possibly even remove email field - although no email field likely confuse a lot of other modules that try to send mail - since they might expect it to always be there since it is a std required field in drupal

set password and immediate login does not eliminate the requirement of having an email address for registration.

it's a really bad idea to eliminate the email address as a required field, as the user then has no way to retrieve a lost password. also, email addresses are extremely easy to come by, via yahoo, google, etc -- so i'm not seeing a pressing need for this as a module feature.
