Hi Andrew, like just posted that in here: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/81d856b37b979d0c?hl=en
you may allow user to enter name, surname, email using standard Django User class (has email, and lastname, firstname fields) but hide username field and then generate username yourself using, say, email or both email or username, etc. Cheers, Phil On Jul 16, 5:50 am, "Andrew D.
