Description
Isn't this functionality already covered by the LoginToboggan module?
#1
LoginToboggan does _many_ wonderful things I was not fully aware that with the LTB module, a user could in fact register with email only. I've been PM'ed by Drupal members with a request that the code from http://drupal.org/node/133038 be turned into a module, which is what this project specifically achieves. I created this module to meet exactly what a client was requesting initially and I am sharing it due to the requests received. At the time LoginToboggan did not have the features I needed but it may do now. I will take a look and report exactly my findings soon. Thanks for the heads-up.
#2
Upon inspection of the LoginToboggan module the feature of "Email only" registration, which the "Email Registration" module provides is not present.
So the answer to your question above, the Email Registration module is unique.
Comments please...
#3
I just installed LogginToboggan (5.x-1.0) to disable usernames (using e-mail addresses as usernames) on my site and it didn't (as Chris Herberte said) allow me to disable usernames so this module is unique.
It would be great (imo) if LoginToboggan and this module could be merged to one module though.
#4
This thread seems to be the appropriate place to ask advice about my current challenge, which seems only Email Registration and LoginToboggan could solve together.
I need the unique feature of email registration (users never have to see the username required by drupal), but I also need users to be automatically signed in upon registration (I think only LoginToboggan allows this).
My question is, can the two modules play nice together?
Of course, merging the two would be great - but if this is not possible, or a long way off - I'd like to know if you foresee any disastrous effects from installing and using them both for these separate features?
Thanks in advance!

so I tried to use both, but get this warning:
user warning: Duplicate entry '74-6' for key 1 query: INSERT INTO users_roles (uid, rid) VALUES (74, 6) in /home/scott/public_html/njsavings2/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 172.Hope this helps with my previous question (I'm not enough of an expert here to know if this is an answer - that it shows they can't work together - or if it just provides a helpful direction)
*** Update ***
Even after I uninstall LoginToboggan, I get the same error. And oddly, users still are auto-logged-in upon registration (I didn't think this was a feature of Email Registration?).
I also ran the update.php afterwards
Hmm. Any suggestions?

Can anyone confirm that email_registration and LoginToboggan are not playing nicely. I could not replicate this.
#7
Using them together in 5.7 and loving it. I've done this for three sites now and only had trouble once. Things cleared up when I removed them both and installed Login Toboggan first, then email registration.
There was an operand error on line 61 of email_registration.module, which had to do with altering the block form. Since LTB alters this form also, I imagine their wires crossed a bit.
Ok now though. I recommend you check out the invite request module too.
#8
Is it actually possible to use this module without LoginToboggan? It breaks on me when I install both - doesn't seem to matter what order (I installed LTB first, then this, and it still broke the site - blank screened). I'm using Drupal 5.7 for this.
How do you configure your site to not show a required username field? I don't see any options when I go to Admin>Site Configuration or Admin>User management.
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

fang, the permissions can be set to not display username. I have no problem with this module c/w LTB on large production site. There are no dependencies.
