Change Nickname to display...

hello,

I created two new fields called "First Name" & "Last Name" - is there anyway to change the nickname to display the users real "First Name" & "Last Name" instead of the users nickname?

Well, this is actually an "afterthought"... I already have over 1,000 users registered and would rather not disrupt things if I can make a change behind the scenes and exchange the nickname field for the First/last name field.

And besides, I would rather keep the nickname as a part of their login - but simply display the users First and Last Name wherever their nickname would normally appear.

Where do you want to display it?  For the "All Members" search, I just changed this line and replaced "NickName" with a field I had defined called "FullName" in this string in the browser.php file:

---

$nick = '<a href="' . getProfileLink( $p_arr['ID'] ) . '">' . $p_arr['NickName'] . '</a>';
