Bob - outstanding, thanks for your help and time.

This works for me!

I tried adding it to the array but your first line is the one I could not get right!

Thanks again

Jake

Stupid code. I wrote that a *long* time ago.

Around line 128 of the plugin:

replace this

$fields = array(
    'username' => $name,
    'sitename' => $siteName,
    'activationURL' => $activeURL,
    'deactivationURL' => $deActiveURL,
);

with this:

$fullName = $profile->get('fullname');

$fields = array(
    'fullname' => $fullName,
    'username' => $name,
    'sitename' => $siteName,
    'activationURL' => $activeURL,
    'deactivationURL' => $deActiveURL,
);

Be sure to put this in the tag: &useFullname=`0` otherwise you may get the full name twice.

Yes tried +fullname +firstname (custom field) I just assumed like you it would work

Cheers Bob

Have you tried just putting [[+username]] where you want the username and [[+fullname]] where you want that?
Let me know if that doesn't work.
