I tried using this module today for an event registration site. Since the module uses profile values, I added new fields to my users' profiles that were needed for the event registration. Most of the new fields were marked as required.

Of course, the users haven't updated their profiles, and I don't know how to force them to do that. But if they now go "sign up", they uc_signup module finds their valid emails and ignores the fact that their profiles are empty.

Is there a way to force entry of values marked as required in the user profile?

This would add somewhat to the complexity of the module but it is possible. When presenting the attendee information form, we could compare the saved profile field values with the required fields. I think this should probably be a site-wide configurable option.

I need this as well. We have hundreds of users that we need to update their profile so that on event registration we can obtain the correct information.

I believe this was made possible by #1071302: Display profile fields for existing (authenticated) users. Please re-open this issue if that's not correct.

I don't think the fix suggested (http://drupal.org/node/1071302) provides the requested functionality.

The suggested fix displays profile fields but does not require the user to enter missing information.

If anyone knows of a module that forces users to enter missing profile information before they proceed, please post the details.
