[bug?] CB lastname field includes middle initial

This only happens if you choose to use middle initial in Community Builder - the last name field populates with the middle initial. Happens on all of your products actually

any way to fix this?

Any solution for this? Happening on out site as well.

Code in controller\register.php pulls lastname from `users` table `name` field, and uses everything after the first space as a last name.
So if user `name` is "Steve K. Thompson", lastname will be set as "K. Thompson"
Code could be improved by detecting if CB is active, and if so then using CB api to pull in user lastname only.
Or by pulling text after the last blank.

Any idea why code is writing back to the database? It should not be updating the users lastname.

I thought I had this mapped to last name field in CB but I just checked and I did not. Have to check if it works now

just checked, mapping to last name does work if using CB - not sure why I didn't do that earlier. I may have posted this before mapping was made available (?)

Yes, we just changed CB config to use firstname, lastname as user name field.

The question remains, should EB be writing to the CB database? I understand grabbing data from CB, but then writing back to it? Not making sense to me.

Mapping to CB fields seems to fix the issue in a simpler fashion. Thanks Piston.
