****Excellent ! I have several profile types and Guest being the Default. Currently when user clicks "Register" link he will be taken to Profile Type Selection page where user can select the profile type suits user's needs. Can i achieve the same with your component?
As for the Usernames, there are 2 methods for letting users create accounts -
1) JFBConnect generates it automatically. For now, it's only the fb_12345 number you see in your profile. We plan to make this a configurable option in one of the next releases. However, it's a 1-line code change that we can show you how to do if you'd like to manually change it to what you indicate above (very easy).
****Great ! I prefer this method because having user's name as a username is more personable for our community..so i will be fine to change a line of code
2) User creates their profile - Here they set their own username and password.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

We haven't tested specifically with JSPT for this exact case, but if you run into issues, we're pretty quick with our support
*** To login first they have to register..correct? when they register they will join the default profile type..so how the redirection is going to help
2) Custom auto-username. The post below is (an old), but still pretty relevant post. If you decide to subscribe, it's a good starting point, but things have changed since that release, so feel free to post a new topic asking how to do it:

That's just good to see that it really is one line of code. I can really see this being a configuration option in the next release... always more to do
*** Thanks. We are almost there...please continue to help me here. This site is really big so i want to make sure everything works perfect before i spend money
Good luck, and thanks for your interest.
