Flexible Display-Names and Brief Info

Depending on your network setup you may want to use anonymous usernames or real full names when displaying member profiles. For a long time Dolphin only supported usernames, and many web-masters had to hack their way to "real-names" support, often with quite a few hiccups. 

Rejoice! We've just added a little feature that will rock your world! :-D

You can now choose what to use for profile display names - usernames, first names, or full names in your preferred order. There's a couple of new admin settings. They look like this...

As you may see, it is now possible to choose not only the display name, but also the accompanying brief information line.

Options for display name:

First Name

First Name + Last Name

Last Name + FIrst name

Username

Options for brief info:

Age + Sex

Headline

Location

Status Message

Depending on your niche, the right combination can effectively reinforce your site image and direction. Say,  username / headline for fan sites;  First Name + Last Name / Location for professional communities; First Name / Age + Sex for local social networks, etc. You can change combinations anytime (as long as your users don't mind, of course).

For example...

Works like charm. Stay tuned!

p.s. and, guys... thank you for your patience! ;-)
