DNN does not allow to register user without UserName. How do you plan to identify user? What info user should type on login? Usually user types Login and Password.

if you like, you can use custom registration form and to use Email instead of login.

Hi Sergey,

Thanks for your interest...

I'm currently playing around in 5.6.2, but by the time we launch, it'll likely be on version 6.

As for the issue, think of magazine subscriptions. We would like to use the DNN framework to house information on all subscribers to the magazine - and many would not have a login for the web site. However, if a user wants to join the website, they should be able to, and we'd link that to their existing membership account. So, we'd have information like a name and address, etc, but they won't have a login account until they create one.

I am assuming I'll need to put together a custom registration process to link up the accounts... but I'm not sure of the best way to store the general member information - like names and whatnot... Because naturally, if we don't use the DNN tables, then none of the other handy features - like newsletters and whatnot - are available.

Does that make sense?

Thanks,

Mike
