auto generate login name basis on user first initial and last name... LC designer

[Former Community Member]

First initial + last name= login name...

Text field   + text field  = text field....

can I use javascript to generate the loginname form first name (first Int) and last name???

For ex... First name: John

             middle int: k

             last Name: Doe

            LoginName: jdoe

var LoginName = getField("LastName").value;

         var FirstName = getField("FirstName").value;

         if (FirstName!="")

         LoginName += " " + FirstName.substring(0,1) + "."

         event.value = LoginName;

not sure if this is right... please help

Hi,

I think you code is a little off as I believe it would result in "doej" which is not what you want.

If you change it to this

      var FirstName = getField("FirstName").value;

      var LastName = getField("LastName").value;

      if (FirstName!="")

      {

           event.value = FirstName.substring(0,1) + LastName; // this should return jdoe

      }

     else

     {    

          event.value = LastName;

     }

Hope this helps

You guys are both using Acrobat JS notation so you're not going to have much luck.

In LC there's no getField or event.value and values are returned from fields using fieldName.rawValue (or .formattedValue).

I put this on the Calculate event of the LoginName field:

var vFirstName = FirstName.rawValue;

var vLastName = LastName.rawValue;

if (!(FirstName.isNull || LastName.isNull)) { // if both fields have data

this.rawValue = vFirstName.substring(0,1) + vLastName;

}
