Username customization

If you want to customize the way usernames are displayed in the administration interface, you can do it by modifying the GetFormattedUsername method in ~/AppCode/CMS/Functions.cs. The method has four overrides and is used to retrieve usernames in the whole administration interface.

 

Example: Usernames are displayed in the <full name> (<user name>) (e.g. Abigail Woodwarth (Abi)) format in some parts of the system, e.g. in document Properties -> General -> Owner. The following code example shows how you can modify the method to get usernames in format <user name> [<full name>] (e.g. Abi [Abigail Woodwarth]):

 

[C#]

 

public static string GetFormattedUserName(string username, string fullname, bool isLiveSite)

{

  if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(DataHelper.GetNotEmpty(fullname, "").Trim()))

   {

      return String.Format("{1} [{0}]", fullname, username);

   }

  else

   {

      return username;

   }

}
