confused
I'm using Forum v2.2RC1 and I would like to display the full name of the poster, and not the username. I've searched the forums. Is there an easy hack? Any and all help appreciated!

In public_html/forum/include/gf_showtopic.php, in the function showtopic(), do the following:

change

Text Formatted Code
if($showtopic['uid'] > 1) {
    $userlink = '<A HREF="' .$_CONF['site_url']. '/users.php?mode=profile&uid=' .$showtopic['uid']. '" class="authorname' .$onetwo. '"><b>' .$showtopic['name']. '</b></a>';
 


to

Text Formatted Code
if($showtopic['uid'] > 1) {
    $display_name = $userarray['fullname'];
    if ($display_name == '') {
        $display_name = $showtopic['name'];
    }
    $userlink = '<A HREF="' .$_CONF['site_url']. '/users.php?mode=profile&uid=' .$showtopic['uid']. '" class="authorname' .$onetwo. '"><b>' .$display_name. '</b></a>';
