Thread: Add first-name to registration requirements

Add first-name to registration requirements

Hi Classipressers,

I'd like to add first name to the registration requirements on the "Register" page, and force users to do this (error message if they haven't filled in this box).

Then I would like users' first names to be displayed site-wide in place of their login name, where appropriate (ie, in header [welcome, xxxxxx] and in sidebar [welcome back, xxxxxx]). I think I can do this part on my own...just by replacing "user_login" with "first_name" in sidebar.php and header.php in the appropriate places...correct?

Help with the first part (and second if I'm incorrect) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
