Change in "reply to xxxx" text

vijay kumavat

Hi

I want to display fullname rather than username if someone reply to topic.

Please ref image below

I found this code in below file but bot sure how to get the fullname of user . i tried with post.parent.fullname .

File path : nodebb\public\src\modules\helpers.common.js

function generateRepliedTo(post, timeagoCutoff) {
		const username = post.parent && post.parent.username ? 
			post.parent.username : '[[global:guest]]';
		const isBeforeCutoff = post.timestamp < (Date.now() - (timeagoCutoff * oneDayInMs));
		const langSuffix = isBeforeCutoff ? 'on' : 'ago';
		return `[[topic:replied-to-user-${langSuffix}, ${post.toPid}, ${relative_path}/post/${post.toPid}, ${username}, ${relative_path}/post/${post.pid}, ${post.timestampISO}]]`;
	}

Please guide me..

We could modify that code so that it uses displayname instead of username then it would respect the setting "Show my fullname". You can probably try it on your forum.

Hi @baris ,

I have did this , its working on hard page refresh. But after revisiting the same page again its shown email ID of the user.

@vijay-kumavat did you update to 3.2.2 or applied the changes from the above commit? Works fine for me when I test, I don't see an email.

Is their any option to change all users username using query? Because in my project username is automatically takes email-id by default. now i change this too. but there are some already registered users having username is stored with their email-id.

Did you set the username field of all users to an email in the database? If that's the case and the old username isn't stored anywhere you can't bring it back. If you are just using a hook to set username to email then you can disable that code and username should go back to normal.

The displayname property is calculated from user.fullname and user.username based on the user setting show my fullname and if they have entered a fullname in their edit profile page.
