Dispaly Nickname instead of username

    At the moment I call the username with the following templatetag:

    <?php bp_the_site_member_name() ?>

    When I call it in this way, it displays the full name and not the Nick name (username).

    Is there any function, to call the user name?

    Okay,

    Try this instead. Remember you’ll need to set the $member variable in your foreach:

    <a class="group-link" href="<?php bp_the_site_member_link() ?>"><?php echo bp_core_get_username( $member ); ?></a>

    I cannot find any foreach on the mebers loop, but I think, you mean the code after these lines

    <?php while ( bp_site_members() ) : bp_the_site_member(); ?>[code]
    till to the endif.
    Please let me knwo, what I have to set for $member.

    [code]<?php while ( bp_site_members() ) : bp_the_site_member(); ?>
    till to the endif.
    Please let me knwo, what I have to set for $member.

    [code]

    till to the endif.

    I found a solution. Not the best but it works:

    The main problem began at the signup. I had the field “full name”. When this field is there, always the full name gets dispalyed, not the username. When I rename thsi field, the real name still gets diplayed instead of the username. When I remove the name of the field, better the label, I get only the username displayed. Jusr how I want it. Great.So I removed the name, gave the div class that includes the Full name box an id and removed it with css. What I do not like in my solution: I had to modify the core files…

    Nightstalker101-

    I\’m sorry that it has taken so long to reply to your question. I\’ve been on the road and have only had an hour here and there.

    What I do not like in my solution: I had to modify the core files…

    Well, as you know, it is never a good idea to modify core files. Have you tried using this:

    bp_the_site_member()

    in place of this:

    bp_the_site_member_name()

    I do not have the BP core files open right now so I’m just taking a guess here.
