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/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>
