Hi, I am using DNN 4.06.01 with YAF 1.91.05 The DNN forum had a setting that allowed the forum users name to be whatever they typed in as their Display Name when they registered. YAF displays whatever they typed in as their Username. Is there a way to change this within YAF so that it will use their Display Name instead of their Username? Thank You

Yes, it's possible. Any good at C#? "When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears”."

No, unfortunately I have very minimal coding experience.

Well, I decided to compile a modified yaf_dnn bridge for you that uses the DisplayName instead of the Username. You will need to upgrade your YAF install to v1.9.1.8 (just uploaded) and just replace the yaf_dnn.dll in your \bin directory with this attached one. No guarantee it will work as you want... you are the Guinea pig.  EDIT: Deleted. "When you are grateful, fear disappears and abundance appears”."

Beware, display names are not unique. More than one person can have the same display name. Boskone - A DotNetNuke user. DotNetNuke Modules

The correct user will be used, but that user could change his or her display name to the same one as someone else. Boskone - A DotNetNuke user. DotNetNuke Modules

I'm wondering how does DotNetNuke do it? Is it verified against the userid? BTW, thanks for the responses and the help.

I never was able to get it to work so I just made DNN only use the userid field and took the display name field away. Hope this helps.

[quote=Synergy]Hi,

Is there a way to change this within YAF so that it will use their Display Name instead of their Username?

I don't think there is, but you can go into DNN and make it so that people can't use Display Names so that it will use there User Names only. Click on Users then Users Settings. Under User Account Settings there is an option for Display Name Format. Put this in there: [USERNAME] Then it will not allow your users to register with a Display Name. they can only put in a User Name and that will be used for both DNN login and YAF Forum authentication and display. Hope this helps
