Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/27737 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/27737 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: theme system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: killes@www.drop.org Reported by: killes@www.drop.org Updated by: moshe weitzman Status: patch makes sense to me. moshe weitzman Previous comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri, 29 Jul 2005 01:43:18 +0000 : killes@www.drop.org Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/theme_format_name.patch (20.39 KB) I've always disliked that I cannot chose which user information is displayed to the outside world. I often prefer to show "Firstname Lastname" rather than a often cryptic username. I could of course change this display in the node and comment functions of my theme, but then it would be confusing if the same user essentially has another name in the user search or the admin interface. Therefore I propse to make format_name a themabel function. Patch attached.
