if the user dont put in a display name, will it display the username instead?

what you do is you make the display name field a required field... and yes if they don't put anything in it then it doesn't display anything. this is just a beta hack and has a lot to work on. I will try to work on hte admin part of the deal when i can but im not sure that i can. i just did this to help out those who needed it as i saw it requested in the requests forum.

I see it now. This would defiantly make a great addition then for any clan forums :D

So where do you actually go to change the login name not the display name?

to change the login name just goto the admin panel and do so --- this hack is just for display name u do not use it as a name to log in with. also sorry for lack of development with this hack im fighting time and its not looking to god :(

O. Because I was looking for a hack like when you register you have a display name and a login name. And then you use your login name to login and the display name for everyone to see on the board.

thats what it does

Does it allow you to do it when you register?
Like add your display name there also? Like for an option if you want to use it.

I get this error after installing it. Do you no why. I dont no what to do and i wanted this hack so badly.

Database error in vBulletin 2.2.5:

ON (moderator.userid=userfield.userid)
ORDER BY user.field9
mysql error: Unknown table 'user' in order clause

mysql error number: 1109

I installed it and i see that it works perfectly now. I fixed it. But How can I make it so it shows my display name everywhere. I mean EVERYWHERE. I dont want the login name being shown for my showthread and stuff. How would i go ahead for doing something like this? Please help.
