I wouldn’t mod a function, I’d add a filter. Hang on while I look for the filter name. (brb)

OK, what I think you’ve done is change the ‘Full Name’ profile field and called it ‘nickname’ in the BuddyPress settings area right?

So, in bp_fetch_user_fullname() it sets up a filter for us:

apply_filters( 'bp_fetch_user_fullname', stripslashes( trim( $data ) )

You’d need to create a function something like:

function my_nickname_filter($name) {
return strtolower($name);
}

And register the filter with:

add_filter('bp_fetch_user_fullname', 'my_nickname_filter')

Hopefully bp uses the bp_fetch_user_full_name() fn everywhere. Can’t see much reason to create it if it didn’t. :)

I see these hooks all over the place. Andy has done gone filter happy.
