On my site I need my users to be able to register with the minimum of information - just a username and password. I know that Joomla (and ES) requires a user to also enter their "name" during the registration process. Is there an easy way to override this process? Or, perhaps hide the name field but have it save with the chosen username instead. What's the best way to accomplish this?
