Superior Hack!!!

Quote:

The way I tackled this (and the only way to do it as far as I am aware) is look through the code of vBulletin and find every place where a username is ABOUT to be displayed then look for the nearest hook-point before that and write a hook which populates the correct vBulletin variable with the fullname from the user record. Oddly, hooking into the creation process of the "musername" (The marked up username) doesn't seem to work everywhere that a marked up username is displayed and I can't see why.

Did you ever have time to look in to this? As I try to work on this, I am really having problems understanding musername's implementation.

Why do changes to the fetch_musername hook work in certain places and not others, like Who's online?

(I know that is an open ended question, but a hint in the right direction is all I'm looking for!)

Thank you for this excellent addition to vB
