Hello everyone,

I write because of an old and known problem.
I searched much times for a solution in this community or in google, but the answers are often two years old and give me no solution for my problem.

I want to have for my community-project a registration with firstname and lastname, without the field Fullname.
So I have an idea, how to solve the problem.

For a solution, I need two functions:

fullname id = field_1

#1 field_1 => is not required & invisible

#2 field_1 = field_firstname + field_lastname

But my php-knowledge is not good enough.
To make it insivible I just have to make this in CSS:

#field_1 {
display: none;
}

But how to make it not required?
It could be something like this code skeleton:

function fullname_not_required {
define( 'BP_SHOW_FULLNAME', not required);
}

function get_first_and_lastname {
$fullname = field_1;
if field_1 = empty  {
$fullname = $field_firstname + $field_lastname
}

So what do you think about this?
