Hi,

when using the functionality for firstname (FIELD_GIVENNAME) and lastname (FIELD_FAMILYNAME) as described here ( documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Using_f...name_on_registration ), the first and given name are currently not persistently stored upon registration.

Based on my testing, this has been introduced somewhere in between 4.2.5 and 4.3.2 when updating the saveProfile function in models\profile.php with the following line:

502: $table->remapFieldValue($userId, $fields);

619: //update the first/last name if it exist in the profile configuration
620: $this->_updateFirstLastName($user);
622: $pModel->saveProfile($user->id, $values);

HI, Peter.

Thank you for contacting us and reporting this.
I assign developer to investigate this further.
He'll contact you ASAP.

Hi Peter,

Have you try in version 4.4.0? please you try it and let me know if this issue still happens there..

thank you!

Hi Dimas,

Thank you for the response. I have just updated the test system for which you have the details to 4.4 and the issue still exists (which is not really surprising since the relevant functions have not changed in that regard).

Please have one of the developers fix it.


Best regards

Hi Peter,

To fix this you need set those fields as register fields.. please check again..

Hi Dimas,

this would lead to those fields showing up twice - on the first and on the second page, that would be the reason why the instructions explicitly state to set it to "no" on registration..


Best regards

Hi Peter,

Yes you right, but those field will be automatically filled from the first step value..this is just temporary solution before we fix this :)

thank you!

Hi Dimas,

Thank you for the response.

I can live with the fields showing up twice temporarily, but did not read from your previous message that you were able to recreate the issue and accepted it as bug.


Best regards

Hi Peter,

Please wait the patch from us :)

thank you!
