2.0 - Email Still Required?
I'm trying to change it so the email address is not required in the user signup - I think there's supposed to be an option in the admin section of beta 2 somewhere but I can't find where?

I've tried changing the demographics db's column dgraph_email to not null but it still comes up asking for an email address.

Can someone point me to where this option might be hiding?

Cheers,

Regan.

e-mail still required but it does not have to exist because he does not have to be verified.
you can modify it from setup > user options > user signup

That doesn't seem to make sense?

A user still 'has' to enter an email address, but it doesn't have to be real? I can't really see the point of making users enter one at all if you don't want to validate it.

Alex, if you read this - is this something that will also be fixed in the next beta release?

If a user signs up and doesn't have a current email address then it seems to be a waste of space.

Cheers,

Regan.

Hi,

Yes, right now you have to go to Database->Demographics->Properties and set Not Null to No for fields which you don't want required. This is separate from the validation email that gets sent out.

Cheers,

Alex
