Make Custom Fields for User Profile Required Instead of Optional

[Guidonzolo]

Hello,
I'm finding a way to make custom fields of user profile required. I've find some solution for Coppermine 1.4 but, with the last version 1.5.12, I think there are some changes because i'm not able to follow the suggests for the 1.4x version.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Thanks for you replay.
I've posted on 1.5 because of i've the last version. The threads that i've read on 1.4 forum refer about a register.php page that is different from the register.php of the last version.

Here there are some code modifications but i cannot find that code lines on my registration.php page

The instructions from that thread still applies, but the code has slightly changed, so you shouldn't search for the exact code Sami referred to.

Which custom fields do you want to make mandatory?

[Guidonzolo]

I want to make mandatory the first custom field. This field is "Full Name", because on my site, i allow access only to my friends.
Thanks
