This component hides the last name field on the signup form, edit profile, and admin add/edit profile. On the form, the last name field is filled with a customized word in the ossn_com.php file, to avoid the need to change any validation rules. But the field is filled with blank spaces in the database to not change the structure or any other functions.
To existent OSSN instances, it's possible to execute an automatic or manual update routine (as you desire) to merge the first and last name fields in the first name. The procedure is in Hide Last Name menu, in admin panel. In any case, before any change and for safety, a backup of the database is highly recommended.
On Red Crested OSSN Sandbox its possible to see the component in action. Use demouser as login and 123456789 as password.

The component was tested in free version of OSSN 6.4 and 6.6, in the GoBlue theme. Maybe some adjustments are required in older versions and/or other themes.

I'm not sure why there would be a reason for this. It is a good idea.
Hiding information does not have a reason when people want a good Bio and Infomation about themselves so I don't see the point in this component, Just saying ;))
Tested, works fine in combination with Display Username
Thanks for releasing this :)
