Re: BP in Education…

How do you handle fullname/real name in these school community sites:

1. students can just fill in whatever they like in the standard BP fullname field?

2. or did you add code to check for a two-part name?

3. or do you have code that synchronizes the firstname and lastname fields in wp_usermeta with the fullname field in BP xprofile?

4. did you create a custom xprofile field for lastname and use fullname for first name?

I still haven’t figured out what the best solution is…

Also how do you keep track of members when the admin areas use the usernames? Did you find a way to synchronize usernames with fullnames? What about blognames/urls?

Chris Kenniburg, is your Set Privacy plugin available somewhere? Is it a regular WP(MU) plugin?
