Hi Ray,

when clicking on the Display-Name within the users Profile-Page, then it does not do anything.
I mean when I am at the Tab “Friends” of that user (http://domain.com/members/katzi56/friends/ ) and then clicking on the Display-Name-Link, then the page does NOT forward to the users default-profile-page, like (http://domain.com/members/katzi56/activity/ ).

So the Link of the Display-Name in the users Profile-Page does not work……

Is this a bug ?

@rich
I assume so…… lets wait for JJJ and BP 1.2.5 and see what it does then

@erich73 – Your issue isn’t related to this plugin. Rich’s link to ticket #2409 is what you’re looking for.

I’m reviewing the filters for the Welcome Pack 2.2 release.

@r-a-y I’ve changed the filter from ‘bp_member_name’ to ‘bp_get_member_name’, as it seems that is what I should have been using originally. Can you see any issue? I haven’t tested it yet.

@DJPaul – This will work for Welcome Pack:
echo apply_filters( 'bp_core_get_user_displayname', $member->display_name, $member->ID )

FYI, this requires BP 1.2.4.

Ok, I’ll use that. Thanks for your help with this. By the way, why 1.2.4? It seems to be in 1.2.3 at least: http://trac.buddypress.org/browser/tags/1.2.3/bp-core.php

@DJPaul – It’s because the second parameter got added to the bp_core_get_user_displayname filter in BP 1.2.4. I’m using that second parameter, $member->ID.

Ok, if anyone complains it’ll require 1.2.4, I’ll blame you :p

@r-a-y Hi mate, hope you are well!

Is there a way to display the uername in a members profile rather than there display name. It’s the last place on my site where I can see it. I don’t mean the main section on a members profile page but when you actually click on the ‘profile’ tab on a members profile page. It still displays the display name.
Thanks!

@rossagrant – You could, but it’s a design decision by me to leave it that way.

I’ve listed the reasons why on multiple occasions, but I’ll bring up the example of Twitter.
If you’re on someone’s Twitter page you can view their display name in the sidebar.

@r-a-y I totally agree with you but it’s been a request I have been asked for. The site is all financial and where money is involved it seems people want to remain anonymous.

Could I trouble you for some code to change that name under the profile tab into a username. Cheers r-a-y I do appreciate it mate!

@rossagrant – Here’s something quick. Add the following to your CSS:

table.profile-fields tr.field_1 {display:none;}

This will hide the “Name” field from profile pages. If you really need the username to be shown in the profile loop, since you’re using the plugin on a financial site, donate something to the plugin and I’ll look into switching the display name to username.

@r-a-y Thanks mate! When I say financial I mean that is it’s topic rather than me making my millions! Haha! I’ll gladly donate something to get you a few beers though! How much we looking at? Just drop me the details and I’ll get something over to you! Thanks again!

@rossagrant – There’s a tab at the top of the page called “Donate”

Donate whatever amount you feel is suitable and I’ll look into this when I can.

@r-a-y Nice one r-a-y, I hadn’t seen the donate button. Just adding my bank account to my PP account so as soon as it’s authorised I’ll send you something over. Thanks for your help!

Thx for your plugin!
Its perfect. But is there now a solution, how to display two custom fields as the display name?
