Show full name instead of username if available?

[whitts]

Anyway to show a users full name instead of a username when they post?

Thanks,

@whitts you will have to modify the template in the theme.

If you are using Persona theme... modify this line

https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/blob/master/templates/partials/topic/post.tpl#L16

change that line to...

<a href="<!-- IF posts.user.userslug -->{config.relative_path}/user/{posts.user.userslug}<!-- ELSE -->#<!-- ENDIF posts.user.userslug -->" itemprop="author" data-username="{posts.user.username}" data-uid="{posts.user.uid}">{posts.user.fullname}</a>

Full Name is an optional field so not everybody updates it in their profile. You might want to check if it's available before displaying it.

<a href="<!-- IF posts.user.userslug -->{config.relative_path}/user/{posts.user.userslug}<!-- ELSE -->#<!-- ENDIF posts.user.userslug -->" itemprop="author" data-username="{posts.user.username}" data-uid="{posts.user.uid}"><!-- IF posts.user.fullname -->{posts.user.fullname}<!-- ELSE -->{posts.user.username}<!-- ENDIF posts.user.fullname --></a>

Works perfectly. Thank you very much
