Hello,

You will need to modify the following control ~\CMSModules\Messaging\Controls\SelectFromContactList.ascx in order to display the FullName in the user selector in Messaging.

As you can see the control uses a standard UniGrid control. For more information about the UniGrid control please visit Controls documentation: UniGrid overview.

To display the FullName in the UniGrid, please add a new column definition to the ~\CMSModules\Messaging\Controls\SelectFromContactList.xml:

<column source="ContactListContactUserID" externalsourcename="contactlistcontactuserid" caption="$general.FullName$" wrap="false" />

Then, please find the gridContactList_OnExternalDataBound method (~\CMSModules\Messaging\Controls\SelectFromContactList.ascx) and add a new case statement for the new column:

case "contactlistcontactuserid":
   drv = GetDataRowView((DataControlFieldCell)(sender));
   userId = ValidationHelper.GetInteger(drv["ContactListContactUserID"], 0);
   if (userId != 0)
   {
       UserInfo ui = UserInfoProvider.GetUserInfo(userId);
       if (ui != null)
       {
          userName = ValidationHelper.GetString(drv["UserName"], String.Empty);
          userName = Functions.GetFormattedUserName(userName, this.IsLiveSite);

          return GetItemText(userId, userName, ui);
       }
   }
   return parameter;

The GetItemText method needs to be modified in the following way:

protected string GetItemText(int userId, object username, object usernickname)
{
string usrName = username.ToString();
string nick = HTMLHelper.HTMLEncode(UserInfoProvider.GetFullUserName(usrName, usernickname.ToString()));
if (usernickname is UserInfo)
{
      nick = (usernickname as UserInfo).FullName;
}

return "<a href=\"javascript: window.parent.CloseAndRefresh(" + userId + ", " + ScriptHelper.GetString(HTMLHelper.HTMLEncode(usrName)) + ", " +
ScriptHelper.GetString(QueryHelper.GetText("mid", String.Empty)) +
", " + ScriptHelper.GetString(QueryHelper.GetText("hidid", String.Empty)) +
")\">" + nick + "</a>";
}

Best regards,
Michal Legen
