Name instead of username

Hi,
I want to display the name instead of the username in the user page. I know I need to replace bp_displayed_user_mentionname() in member-header.php. The problem is that I can’t find the function that will display the name.

@lerroy @shpitzyl,

FYI, this function will show user_login instead of member_name on the members directory.
Add it to the theme’s functions.php
```
/* Display Username in Directory */
function my_member_username() {
    global $members_template;
	
    return $members_template->member->user_login;
}
add_filter('bp_member_name','my_member_username');
```
Tested on WordPress 3.8.1 – BuddyPress 1.9.2

Thanks for the code

I added to my themes function.php but no luck members directory still shows by username 🙁

This problem with username / full name seems to be all other these forums in various forms. i am setting up a conference website and users want to find each other buy real names, as usernames dont really identify the user 🙁
