How to store user's first-name and last-names in Drupal?

Question

I can not see a first-name or full name field in Drupal's create/edit user form. I am using Drupal 6. How do I store a user's full name in it?

Answer 1

You will need to enable the Profile module for that. This module lets you add fields to users.

See information about the module in the handbook, and some nice instructions here (under "Adding special properties to user profiles").
