Hi,

For our new gamingclan website I am using Mambo and SMF and obviously use Mambo-SMF Forum. I am having a problem with how the userinfo is saved in the databases. It appears to me that the username and displayname fields are swapped if you compair the Mambo database with the SMF database.

I have made an account to test this, and made some screenshots:
(At registration: name=displayname, username=username)

Here is how the mainpage looks after login in:
All mambo components/modules use the username field from the mambodb. The loginmodule is Mambo-SMF Forum Login Module v.1.3.1a and that displays the displayname.
Also, in the forum itself the displayname is always used:


The site uses:
Mambo 4.5.2
SMF 1.0.3
Mambo-SMF 1.3.1.2

URL: http://m8d.org/mambo

I hope someone can help me out with this.

Thanks,

Danee

Hi Cowboy,

Thanks for your answer. I already looked into the Who's online module and I can easily change that, but it's not just the Who's online module. All modules I've seen so far use the username instead of the displayname. In my opinion they should all display the displayname since that one can hold special characters and the username can't (We're a gaming community, visitors like to add special characters to their tags/nicks  )

But anyway, I could do 2 things here. Change all mambo modules that display the username instead of the displayname OR figure out if I can have the registration/DBsynchronise process swap the two fields between the databases.

Any advice for me?

Maybe it's a 'nice to have' feature for a future release of Mambo-SMF?

Thanks again,

Danee

Thanks,

I've allready changed the Who's Online module, AkoComment and ShoutIt! So the displayname is used instead of the username.

Cheers,

Danee
