It is possible to set the token attributes FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME to mandatory was created by Qsgt
Hi,

I have a survey that uses tokens and is open for public registration. My public registration form has email, first name and last name fields. However the only mandatory field is email address. Is it possible to set the first and last name fields as mandatory?
I know that I can set custom attributes as mandatory but the FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME attributes and not listed there because they are not custom attributes.

Any ideas as to how/ if I can do it.

Thanks,
qsgt

You could hide the original first and last name fields and add you own mandatory attributes for those.

In LimeSurvey version 2.5x, adding this to the end of template.js will hide those fields.
Code:
$(document).ready(function() {
  if($('.register-form #register_firstname').length > 0) {
    $('.register-form #register_firstname').closest('.form-group').hide();
    $('.register-form #register_lastname').closest('.form-group').hide();
  }
});

Alternatively, you may be able to do something with Denis' "replaceRegister" plugin - framagit.org/SondagePro-LimeSurvey-plugin/replaceRegister
