hi anthony 

Look at the facebook registration form. there are no username field first time user registration. but once user registered they can set username what they want. 

Thanks

Hi,

Have you considered using custom user with custom authentication backend to handle authentication?

- Well planned is half done, and a half done has been sufficient before...

Hello Jeni 

Thank you for your reply. yes i dealing with my own custom authentication backend and now i desided to use username as random number Instead of user id if username not set.

Thanks you

Of course there is :
on the view which responds to your registration form (likely to be where
you call authenticate) - you simply test if the username field has been
set when the registration is posted - and if not set it to be whatever
you want.

Or - in your custom backend you can do the same thing; basically you
have code like this :

if not username:
    username = random_digits()

where random_digits is a function you write to generate your random user
name/number.

Remember you will need to tell the user what number you have chosen for
them.

This isn't really a Django issue to be honest - it is simply code.

Yes - but that is very different from what you are asking - Facebook
have a two stage form - first set the details - and then set the user
name. Their user name isn't optional - it is always mandatory - it is
just set at stage two.

You can assign any value to any variable you wish - this isn't a Django
issue.
