middle name copies into last name field

Hi Tuan

We use CB for member registrations. I configured Event Booking to map with CB fields on middle name and last name..However whenever a booking is made the middle name gets copied into the last name field.. This messes up the member database . How can we prevent that the last name gets overwritten with the combination middle name + last name in CB

Hi

Could you please give me a sample full name and let me know what's first name and what's last name so that I can look at it, see what's wrong with the code and guide you to correct it?

Regards,

Tuan

Yes, in this case the name is
first name : Test
middle name: van
last name : Nuleen

this is how they are in Community Builder.

Whenever i make a booking Event Booking prefills the fields with:
first name : Test
middle name: van
last name : van Nuleen

so the middle name 'van' gets copied into the last name field. I mapped the middle and last name field to CB, however it still messes up the last name. This is a major problem as the CB member database is used for multiple tasks..

Also: if a user is not logged in and fills the login boxes in the evnet booking page it gets redirected to CB login page, and he has to find his way back to the booking...inconvenient, is there a way to make this login work properly?

This is an on going issue. Check out this thread and solution: joomdonation.com/forum/events-booking-ge...al.html?limitstart=0

Hello ligi

1. Did you map the first_name field in Events Booking with the first_name field in CB ? The way Events Booking works now is that if there is no first_name data, it will try to detect first_name and last_name from Joomla core name field. In your sample case, I can confirm the issue. Not sure in case name contains more than two words, what should be first name and what should be last name/

2. About login redirect, it causes by CB System Plugin. I don't remember exactly the parameter causing that, you can submit a support ticket so that we can check and correct it for you

Thanks Tuan

Mapping the firstname field seems to have resolved the copy middle name issue
