Real Name in Postbit
 

Tested and installed on vBulletin 2.3.0

Created for vBulletin v2.3.0, but should work in most versions of vBulletin.

ALL CREDIT AND CODING FOR THIS MODIFICATION GO TO BOOFO. I AM JUST RELEASING THIS WITH HIS PERMISSION.

The original request for this hack can be found here...

What it does is give a forum member the option to enter their real name into their profile options in the USER CP
and have it show up in the postbit if the information was entered. If no name is entered none of the real name info
will show up in the postbit.


Files to edit: (1) functions.php
Templates to edit: (1) postbit

Install time: 1 minute.

I know this is nothing major and most people probably already knew how to do this. Well, I didn't know and with Boofo's help I do now so I want to release this for those who want it and don't know how. :)

Thanks Boofo.

Similar to what we have here at vB.org :)

Mike, the one I was looking for. Got it rolling...

Nice - I have it installed on my forums:)

Satan

its another hack that should have been there by default

That was my inspiration, Erwin. :) I didn't see it anywhere and I liked the idea.

all you gotta do is make another profile field.. and include it in the postbit. Or is that what this does? lol i didnt download it.

Good idea

/me clicks install

/me also installs it

If you just create a profile field and stick it in the postbit it will still show Real Name: whether a person has a name or not. This was makes it so if a person does not enter their name the Real Name: part won't show in the postbit.

I was gonna say this aswell untill i looked at the install and seen exacltly what the file edit did. :)
