[HOW] Use a display name instead of a username

is there any hack or any way i can make this happen.... so user can change their display name when they want instead of user name.....

if they want to show choose their desire custom name instead of user name so it can show in the postbit instead of their actual suer name....

like this hack but its for version 2 so i m not sure this will work or not..... can someone please guide me...

Create a new profile field, and replace all instances of (in templates):

Code:

$bbuserinfo[username]

$post[username]

$prepared[username]

With:

Code:

$bbuserinfo[fieldX]

$post[fieldX]

$prepared[fieldX]

Where "X" in "fieldX" is the profile field's ID (given in the profile field manager).

There was an "Alias" mod around here somewhere. Do a search for "Alias".
