Real Name for Admin only...

[trenchteam]

What I would like is for the real name to show up for admins at all times.  I know that people can change their usernames since I allow it. They love the feature, but I would like to be able to see their original name if that makes sense. If I could have a option to in the backend that would allow alll their real usernames to appear instead of their modified names. 

Im hoping this makes sense. I tried the HOVER name mod thing, but it doesnt seem to be working properly for me.

In Display.template.php search for:

Code Select Expand


// Show information about the poster of this message.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="16%" rowspan="2" style="overflow: hidden;">
<b>', $message['member']['link'], '</b>
<div class="smalltext">';

Replace with:

Code Select Expand


// Show information about the poster of this message.
echo '
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="table-layout: fixed;">
<tr>
<td valign="top" width="16%" rowspan="2" style="overflow: hidden;">
<b>';
if (!$context['can_moderate_forum']) echo $message['member']['link'];
else echo '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $message['member']['id'] . '" title="' . $txt[92] . ' ' . $message['member']['username'] . '">' . $message['member']['username'] . '</a>';
echo '</b>
<div class="smalltext">';

This will show the usernames for those who can moderate the forum. The only way I could make it work right now.
  If you want this to work only for yourself you could try instead:

Code Select Expand

if ($GLOBALS['ID_MEMBER'] != yourid)

Note: For the guest it won't show up anything. You'll see only "guest".

Hey, thank you very much!

[Rudolf]

Change the condition of the if statement in this to show the normal names of guests.:

Code Select Expand

if (($context['can_moderate_forum']) || (strpos($message['member']['link'], "<a href=") === false))
or

Code Select Expand

if (($GLOBALS['ID_MEMBER'] != yourid) || (strpos($message['member']['link'], "<a href=") === false))

Depending on which route you want to take. "Moderators" vs. "Only you". 

You're welcome.
