Hi,

I regret that I do not have enough skills to make this module generic.
I could, however, make it fully working for my specific application.
It needs some work but I am uploading it anyways is someone in the community needs it.

regards,

Hi prateek, thanks a lot for your work. This is exactly what I need for my current project.
My only question: Is this module ready for production side yet?

I just tested it and it doesn't create the username only a dot and in the admin settings it does not list the two profile fields.

Hi espirates. I made the same experience with this module.
Noah is working on a new (sub-)module for the realname project at the time. I help testing and hope we will get ready soon.
Here you can find the current state and code of the module: http://drupal.org/node/433158

Best regards,
Stefan

Aaah... sorry, I didn't see your comments on the posted link. It seems that you know the project yet. :)

The realname module is based on the content profile so I was hoping I could find a way to do it with the core profile.

The realname module can use both the content profile and the core profile as source. you can choose in the administration ui which module and which fields should be used.

ah ok, been trying out so many i get confused.

I like this version better because it displays the generated username field and has no other dependencies other than user profile. The realname generator appears to hide the username field and also requires CCK to be enabled along with a couple of other related modules that I don't have a need for.
