Why is the name of the State taking over?

I would love to use this mod, but I would need the "Real Name" to display on the postbit INSTEAD of their username. If there is nothing in the user field, then the username shows, if there is a entry in the Reel Name field, then that shows instead.

Ideas?

If you are interesting in this for just the postbit, then create a plugin hooked at "memberaction_dropdown" with the "Plugin PHP Code":

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Change "field4" to the profile field you are using to store the user's real name.

edit: I changed to code to remove the call to a function containing a db query.

Primarilly, I need this to work when displaying the username on posts as well as when displaying the username in CMS articles. Is this going to do that?

I don't know...I don't use CMS. Give it a try...let us know.

edit: Try this instead...and if this doesn't work for CMS, I have another option for you to try.

The last bit of code works in the forums, but not in the CMS.

Ideas?

Okay, give this a try:

Unless I did somethig wrong, this does not do it either.

I changed field4 to field6 and just pasted it in "as is" plugin I added.

[justasiam]

OK, weird.

When I look at the list of articles, the "Real Name" is displaying. However, when I bring the article up, it goes back to the "Username".

[MarkFL]

Well, I guess the CMS articles don't use the memberaction drop-down when displaying usernames...I assumed they would, but we all know what happens when we assume.

As I said, I don't use CMS so I have no idea how it displays usernames, but if you have a test/dev site online (with CMS) I would be willing to go there and see if I can get it to work.

My site is not officially up. So, feel free to go to http://www.hidingplace.com/forums/ and sign up for a new account. I will be notified when that happens, and then I will move you to the Administrator usergroup.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Okay, I registered and activated my account. Once I have admin access, I will begin investigating. You may see "weird" things going on from time to time as I run my investigations.

It is done

Okay, I got it to work:

Please let me know if this takes care of what you wanted to do since you are more familiar with the system.

[justasiam]

Sweet!! Thank you!! Now I can invite other people to the site to write articles and have their Real Name display on it. Nice!!!

Are you done on my site? Can I lower your access? I might need you again, who knows? Lol
