Meteoracle on Removing Unique Username Constraints
Westley Knight of meteoracle has written an article on allowing duplicate screen names in EE.
I’ve been working on a site which users must register to gain access. I’ve removed the need for a user to create a unqiue username by using their email address for their username. This also removes the need for the email field on the registration form.
However, the screen name, which I’m currently using to welcome the user to the site in a personal fashion, has to also be unique. Luckily the verification for unique screen names can be removed, so John Smith doesn’t have to call himself JSmith79 just to be able to register.
For the solution, refer to the full article.
