User Names

Permalink Browser Info Environment
I purchased this add-on LONG long ago, and it has always worked well for me!! One thing I never liked about it was how it automatically creates a username, so, I had shyed away from using it.

Now I am building a site for a client with a 2000+ FB follower base and quite frankly WANT the ability to login with FB. What are the odds we could see an update that would allow for a user to input their own username if their email does not match any in the database?

I think this would be a GREAT feature and I would surely purchase licenses for other sites I had previously chosen not to use it on ;)

Hi, sorry for this late reply.
:) I've started implementing this feature, even if it will take some time (~30 days).
I'll post here once I get it out of beta testing

Thanks
Regards

This will be a much needed feature. We have a need for a heavy social site and Username is a big part of a users displayed identity.

wouldn't be much of an issue at all given the ability to change your username through c5 without being admin !!

sadly username is not editable by users and it would be better to allows this option during the account creation. The main job of a web developer is to make it easier on the end user, not harder.

I apologize for this huge delay. I started working on it and I'm pretty confident it will be available for the weekend (not as an update, but as a beta download in this thread).
Thanks

Hi. I'll be interested in this addon when the customer can choose their own username. When it is out of beta please let me know, I won't want a beta version. Thanks very much.
