  • Another mod request

    From Diamond Dave #1@131.Wwivnet@11:1/101 to All on Tue Jan 14 18:36:56 2025

    Here's another mod request for WWIV:

    A lot of my new users are not leaving their full first and last names when they sign up for a new account. They just leave a first name. Is there a way to change that so they need to leave their first and last name?

    Thanks!

    It doesn't look like there is, want to send a PR to add a new option (like we have for other newuser settings) to required a full name. You could add it to the newuser_config_t struct which goes into config.json pretty easily, just check for a space.

    WDYT?

    Are you referring to the user name field or the real name field?

    real name field. Often users just put their first name and that's it. I'd like to know their actual full first and last names.

    Got it. I've created a pull request with the modification. It will have to go through the review process, etc.


    Add config and check for user to enter full real name #1660
