Hide Last Name for OpenSource-SocialNetwork

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.
