Display name

[brun0]

Is there a mod that allow users to have a display name and a login name?

HI,

I found Username or E-Mail Address Login Hack for you. Not exactly what you ask for but maybe it'll do for you.

Thanks dog... but isnt that mod what im looking for

im looking for a mod to do the following

ie: Your username is USERNAME123
Your displayname HELLO WORLD

when you want to log in into the forum you use USERNAME123

but in forums, pms, etc etc etc... the board must shows your displayname (HELLO WORLD)

hope you understand

sorry for my bad english

No problem, your English is good enough, I understand what you want. I'm sorry the mod I found is not doing that.

I don't know of any mod that does what you are looking for.

haven't the time to do the mod, but you could do this:
create a new field 'userlogin' in the table users of varchar(25)
replace all 'username' in login.php with 'userlogin'
modify the include/user_register.php - most places (but not all) you would need to copy the username section and make a simmilar userlogin section
last you need to modify the lang_xx file and the template file profile_add_body.tpl to also allow the login name
if users are not allowed to change login name you will also need to handle that in the template - same way as this is handle to day in the template

You could use a custom profile field?

There would be a lot of template changes though to show the new profile field name instead of username.

It's a good place to start.
