I'm trying to save users the trouble of creating a username, so I am
generating it based on their email address.  It doesn't need to be
unique, it is used in the view only, but that's not my question.

My question is how do I store it when the user fills out the form?
Obviously, this won't work, bc the user's email isn't saved yet...any
help you can provide?  The line in ******* is the problem.  Thank you.

    - form_for resource_name, resource, :url =>
registration_path(resource_name) do |f|
      = f.error_messages

        = f.label :email
        = f.text_field :email

        = f.label :password
        = f.password_field :password

        = f.label :password_confirmation
        = f.password_field :password_confirmation

*************    = f.hidden_field_tag(:username,
@user.email.split('@',2).first)  ***********************

        = f.submit "Sign Up"
