Help with a mysql query - replacing field

Can anyone help me? I want to give everyone using my forum a new username, based on their real name. Their real name is stored in the database as two custom fields. So I want to replace all existing usernames with [customfield1]_[customfield2].

That's their firstname_lastname. (e.g. Jane_Doe).

Does that make sense? Anyone know how to do it? :)

You could change the user table with a query, but there are a bunch of other tables that have a username. I think the best thing to do would be to write a script that uses the data manager to change the username. It would basically be

Code:

for each user

   fetch userdata

   create User data manager

   set existing

   set new username

   save

How would I do that?
I'm not familiar with writing scripts like that

Can't you use the replcement variable manager? so say find text "[musername]" and replace with "[customfield1]_[customfield2]"

I've never used it but it's just a thought :)

That would be really great but I don't think all the vbulletin pages get the customfield data. It's pulled into showthread but I don't think it's pulled into all pages.

I would be even happier to do it that way if I could make the pages get the data.

Anyone know how?
