RE:Display Full Name Instead of User Name on Forums

Hello,

Yes, it's possible. You might need to adjust behavior of new forum post form. You can open the NewPost control here: ~\CMSModules\Forums\Controls\NewPost.ascx.cs. Please find line about 367 and change the text which will pre-fill the user name textbox, you can do it like this:

txtUserName.Text = CMSContext.CurrentUser.FullName;

This way you enforce inserting Full Name for post.

Another thing is changing appearance in already created posts. This is necessary to do directly in database in Forums_ForumPost table. You might create some script for this purpose if you want to.

Best regards
Ondrej Vasil
