Add realname support

I have found the below that might be helpfull to add realname support.

http://drupal.org/project/author_smart_name

Allows the autocomplete field in "authoring information" to use values other than usernames.

I have tried to install the module, but I am getting an error. I have contacted the author for assistance. Once I have it installed I will try and change the form settings to match the to_do module:
$form['assignment']['assigned_users']

To see whether it works.

Hi Alexis,

thanks for the reply, im afraid im not a programmer, so I would not have a clue to do any of that. I was searching around for a solution and came across the above implementation.

I have tried changing the above mentioned modules code, to reflect the forms I think should be called, but again I am kind of guessing here. I did not work im afraid.

I changed the following

if ($form['assignment']['assigned_users']['#autocomplete_path']) {
   		$form['assignment']['assigned_users']['#autocomplete_path'] = 'smart/user_autocomplete';

Below is the actual module if that might help

<?php

/* 
 * Implementation of hook_menu()
 */
function author_smart_name_menu() {
  $items = array();
  
  $items['admin/settings/author_smart_name'] = array(
    'title' => 'Author Smart Name',
    'description' => 'Choose where your author name comes from',
    'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
    'page arguments' => array('author_smart_name_settings'),
    'access arguments' => array('administer site configuration'),
    'file' => 'author_smart_name.admin.inc',
   );
  
  if (variable_get('author_smart_name_source', 0) != 0){
    $items['smart/user_autocomplete'] = array(
      'title' => 'User autocomplete',
      'page callback' => 'author_smart_name_autocomplete',
      'access callback' => 'user_access',
      'access arguments' => array('access user profiles'),
      'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
     ); 
  }
  
  return $items;
}

/* 
 * Implementation of hook_menu()
 */
function author_smart_name_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id){
  if (variable_get('author_smart_name_source', 0) != 0){
    // Changing the authoring information in order to call another ajax function instead of core
    if ($form['assignment']['assigned_users']['#autocomplete_path']) {
   		$form['assignment']['assigned_users']['#autocomplete_path'] = 'smart/user_autocomplete';

      // Attach validation function to strip the real name off the submitted value.
      if (!in_array('_author_smart_name_validate', $form['#validate'])) {
        array_unshift($form['#validate'], '_author_smart_name_validate');
      }
   	}
  }
}

function author_smart_name_autocomplete($string = '') {
  $matches = array();
  
  if ($string) {
    
    $source = variable_get('author_smart_name_source', 0);
  
    switch ($source){
      // Core Profile module = 1
      case '1': 
        $result = db_query_range("SELECT CONCAT(u.name, ': ', pv.value) AS name, pv.value FROM {users} u, {profile_values} pv WHERE pv.fid = %d AND pv.uid = u.uid AND LOWER(pv.value) LIKE LOWER('%s%%')", 1, $string, 0, 10);
        while ($user = db_fetch_object($result)) {
          $matches[$user->name] = check_plain($user->value);
        }
      break;
      
      // Content Profile Modile = 2
      case '2':
        $field = variable_get('author_smart_name_profile_field', 'title');
        $type = variable_get('author_smart_name_profile_type', 'profile');
        if ($field == 'title'){
          $result = db_query_range("SELECT CONCAT(u.name, ': ', n.title) AS name, n.title FROM {node} n INNER JOIN {users} u ON n.uid = u.uid WHERE n.type = '%s' AND LOWER(n.title) LIKE LOWER('%s%%')", $type, $string, 0, 10);
          while ($author = db_fetch_object($result)) {
            $matches[$author->name] = check_plain($author->title);
          }
        }
        else {
          // TODO other fields on the node?
        }
      break;
    }  
  }
  drupal_json($matches);
}

/**
 * Detects names of the form 'username: smart name' and converts them to 'username', prior to node_validate() being run.
 */
function _author_smart_name_validate($form, &$form_state) {
  // Use limit=2 in the event that real names contain ':'.
  $name = explode(':', $form_state['values']['name'], 2);
  $username = $name[0];
  if ($author = user_load(array('name' => $username))) {
    $form_state['values']['name'] = $author->name;
  }
}

Anyways I hope this can be implemented would be such a great add on to, the to do list module.

thanks much appreciated.
