Hi Brendan,
Thank you for posting! It's better to separate topics thematically in the forum, to maintain readability. Don't worry about it, of course, just keep it in mind for future posts, if possible.
1. In an attempt to simplify subscription as much as possible, we chose a single name field. Some clients have chosen to make a "First Name" or "Last Name" field and use the "Name" field as the other part of the name, respectively.
NS Pro deducts the first name part of the name using the following algorithm:
Code:
If Name is a single word:
First Name -> Name
Last Name -> Empty
If Name is exactly two words:
First Name -> first word
Last Name -> second word
If Name is exactly three words:
Check middle word. If it is one of the following: 'da', 'von', 'van', 'di', 'de', 'los', 'der', 'y', 'e', 'i', 'den', 'das', 'dos', 'da', 'del', 'della', 'le', 'zum', 'zur':
First Name -> first word
Last Name -> second word (one of the above) and third word
Otherwise:
First Name -> first and second word (assuming two first names)
Last Name -> third word
If Name is more than three words:
Check middle word. If it is one of the above mentioned:
First Name -> first word
Last Name -> the rest of the name
Otherwise:
First Name -> first and second word
Last Name -> the rest of the name
You are free to choose your way to go. Either using a field, or the above algorithm (suggested by GPT)
I will come back on 2 and 3.
