It uses a GF User Registration hook to update the display name to the full name immediately after the user is registered. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/force-display-name-setting-in-user-registration-add-on#post-20114 Tue, 08 Mar 2011 05:26:54 +0000 Steffen Bang Nielsen 20114@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Did it make to beta 3 (or 5)</p> <p>I can’t seem to find it. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/setting-a-default-display-name-when-registring#post-20098 Mon, 07 Mar 2011 20:07:22 +0000 Steffen Bang Nielsen 20098@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>On <a href="http://www.dagenspharma.dk" rel="nofollow">http://www.dagenspharma.dk</a> we’re using ’User Registration Add-On’ for signing up people as subscribers.</p> <p>The only problem is, that we would like set the users display name to be his/hers full name, not the username, as wordpress would want us to.</p> <p>Since ’User Registration Add-On will not let us map a field in the form to be display-name, we’ve tried to change a couple of lines in user.php (/wp-includes) like this:</p> <p>BEFORE<br /> if ( empty($display_name) )<br /> $display_name = $display_name;<br /> $display_name = apply_filters('pre_user_display_name', $display_name);</p> <p>AFTER<br /> if ( empty($display_name) )<br /> $display_name = $first_name.' '.$last_name;<br /> $display_name = apply_filters('pre_user_display_name', $display_name);</p> <p>It actually works, when a user is created from the wordpress-backend, but not when a user creates his own account from our frontpage. In that case the display-name is just left blank.</p> <p>any ideas, anyone? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/force-display-name-setting-in-user-registration-add-on#post-15000 Sun, 26 Dec 2010 07:12:43 +0000 2urn 15000@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>+1 </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/force-display-name-setting-in-user-registration-add-on#post-14946 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 13:19:16 +0000 TiborP 14946@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Great! And thanks for the quick reply :-) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/force-display-name-setting-in-user-registration-add-on#post-14945 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 13:06:35 +0000 Carl Hancock 14945@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm now aware of any custom function to do this right now. But it is something that we can add to the User Registration Add-On as an option to preset the display name. We had left it off originally because users can edit this in their profile, but it does make sense to make it an option so admins can predefine the default.</p> <p>We will try and work this into the Beta 3 release. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/force-display-name-setting-in-user-registration-add-on#post-14935 Thu, 23 Dec 2010 12:36:02 +0000 TiborP 14935@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>First: I really love this add on!</p> <p>But...I needed a way to automatically set the registered user's display_name to firstname + lastname and came up with the (not so friendly) solution to edit userregistration.php a little bit.</p> <p>The way I did it was by adding<br /> <code>$config[&quot;meta&quot;][&quot;display_name&quot;] = RGForms::post(&quot;gf_user_registration_display_name&quot;);</code><br /> after line 485, and<br /> <code>{ &#39;name&#39;: &#39;Display name&#39;, &#39;value&#39;: &#39;display_name&#39; }</code><br /> after line 696.</p> <p>Now, in the User Registration Forms settings, I have the option to set 'Display name' to the 'Name (Full)' field of my registration form.</p> <p>I guess the way to do this the right way, is through a custom function, but need some directions on how to. Hope someone can provide an example..</p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
