Description
I have not been able to figure out how you extract the last initial from the lastname field? Or do you simply request a last initial from user?
I want to use firstname last-initial as username.
thanks
#1
To get first-initial lastname as the username, I used this PHP code:
<?php$firstname=[profile_firstname-filtered];
$temp_username=$firstname[0].[profile_lastname-raw];
$temp_username=strtolower($temp_username);
return $temp_username;
?>
#2
Here's a modification that will take a hypenated lastname ("Jones-Smith") and just use the last "word" in the username. Change the Punctuation Settings to leave hypens unchanged.
<?php
$firstname="[profile_firstname-filtered]";
$lastname="[profile_lastname-filtered]";
$token = strtok($lastname, "-");
while ($token !== false) {
$lastnameTemp=$token;
$token = strtok("-");
}
$temp_username=$firstname[0].$lastnameTemp;
$temp_username=strtolower($temp_username);
return $temp_username;
?>
