"display" name

[fataldreams]

I recently switched from UBB to vBulletin (best decision I ever made), but a lot of my users are missing the "display name" feature on UBB which allowed you to have your username and a display name, that was the one actually displayed when you posted. I looked through all the hacks on here and didn't see anything that looked to fit what I'm looking for. Anyone?

Thanks.

you could also do this, which would put the display name in the place of a username


create a new custom porfile feild named display name, make it hidden - required - and you have to fill it in


now go to ACP > Templated > Modify > Extend > Postbit templates > Postbit


now replace

<normalfont><b>$post[username]</b></normalfont><br>


with

<normalfont><!-- <b>$post[username]</b></normalfont><br> --><b>$userinfo[field7]</b><br>


and replace 7 with your custom profile feild number


just take out the <!-- --> if you want both to be displayed and change

<b>$userinfo[field7]</b><br>


with

<i>$userinfo[field7]</i><br>
