What is the easiest way to make an email address not required in the Registration Form?

Also, I'd like to assign users their usernames. How can I do that? Their usernames will just be usr + a number

For instance, usr1001 with 1001 being the next autonumber identity value in a table.

Thanks,
Matt

Hello Matt,

One possible way to remove the validation of the email field is to drag a Registration Widget to the Page and edit it (the Registration widget is under the Users group). You need to find the ValidatorDefinition under the email TextField and remove it:

<sf:TextField ID="email" runat="server" DataFieldName="Email" DisplayMode="Write" Title="<%$ Resources:Labels, Email %>" CssClass="sfregisterField sfregisterEmail" WrapperTag="li">

After you save the widget you will be able to register a new user without need to add any email in the Registration form.

As per assigning usernames - you can find the "userName" TextField and customize it as shown in this forum post.

Please let me know if this was helpful.

Best wishes,
