Post Changing Nickname Field

Hi guys hope you don't mind this but i found it useful so i thought i'd post it here. In the registration on the board it asks for a "username" and a "nickname" i had a guy register for my forum and he was confused which on was his sign in name, so i changed the parameters for it so that instead of "nickname" it says "your name" as i have removed the feilds for "first name" amd "last name" as i thought it was asking people to give too many names alltogether. This is how i did it.

First to remove the "firstname" and "lastname" tag go to the joobb admin panel in your joomla back end and select "profile fields" you will see 2 fields on top: p_firstname and p_lastname unpublish these and they will no longer be on the registration page.

Now to change the "nickname" field locat this file on you server:

components/com_joobb/designs/templates/joobb/language/en-GB/joobb.ini

Scroll down to line 105 to this param:

JOOBB_NICKNAME=Nickname

and change it to:

JOOBB_NICKNAME=Your Name

or whatever you would like it to say, and now you have a little bit easier of a registration page.

Hope some of you find this usefull and i hope you don't mind me posting this here guys.
