Glad that it worked anyway.]]> Kristoffer Oct 04, 2013, 06:15 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/73670/combine-extended-fields-first--lastname-in-fullname#dis-post-479430 <![CDATA[Re: [Solved] Combine extended fields (first-, lastname) in fullname]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/73670/combine-extended-fields-first--lastname-in-fullname#dis-post-479376
This is working now - really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction.

Actually 

$hook->setValue('fullname',$fullname);


didn't work. The debug code showed that $fullname was set correctly but setValue wasn't saving.

But your solution led me to uncover http://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=72933&page=1 which took a different approach

$profile = $hook->getValue('register.profile');
$profile->set('fullname',$fullname);
$profile->save();


which worked.

Still be interested to know why setValue works for you though.]]> sparkyhd Oct 03, 2013, 01:03 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/73670/combine-extended-fields-first--lastname-in-fullname#dis-post-479376 <![CDATA[Re: [Solved] Combine extended fields (first-, lastname) in fullname]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/73670/combine-extended-fields-first--lastname-in-fullname#dis-post-479373
Is the a pre or post hook?]]> sparkyhd Oct 03, 2013, 12:01 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/73670/combine-extended-fields-first--lastname-in-fullname#dis-post-479373 <![CDATA[Re: [Solved] Combine extended fields (first-, lastname) in fullname]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/73670/combine-extended-fields-first--lastname-in-fullname#dis-post-479372 
$firstname = $hook->getValue('firstname');
$lastname = $hook->getValue('lastname');
$fullname = $firstname . ' ' . $lastname;
$hook->setValue('fullname',$fullname);
  
return true;

With the above, if there's validation on first and last names, and the user leaves one of them blank, how do I pre-populate value=""]]> sparkyhd Oct 02, 2013, 04:25 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/73670/combine-extended-fields-first--lastname-in-fullname#dis-post-479324 <![CDATA[Re: [Solved] Combine extended fields (first-, lastname) in fullname]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/73670/combine-extended-fields-first--lastname-in-fullname#dis-post-428869 http://tracker.modx.com/issues/7695) - personally I think adding a salutation would not be a bad idea either I will try and add to the request.

Anyway here is the (jQuery) javascript I used to combine my extended fields for first and last into full name. The event is triggered on form submit.

(NB obviously change form / field names to match yours)

Nasty hack but works for the time being...

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
	$("#reviewer_register_form").submit(function() {
		$fullname = $("#First").val() + " " + $("#Last").val();
		$("#fullname").val($fullname);
		// un-coment to debug alert("done");
		return true;
	});
 });
</script>
