Description
I have managed to override the username in my template.php file, which works for most of my site.
Unfortunately however, the privatemsg module includes a vast amount of code that links to a person's username. Is there any modules or patches that have been made to allow the privatemsg module to display real name throughout instead of the username? or could you recommend a way for me to best override the constant occurence of the username?
regards,
Sylvie

Sylvie - have you found a way to do that?
I would like privatemsg to use custom CCK fields from nodeprofile content type instead of the username.
Anyone know how to get this done?

subscribe .. that would be fabulous if full name instead of username is implemented in 'reply to', etc.

@Liliplanet: I think so too... but actually i'm thinking of going to opposite way. I'm guessing you'd like this feature for a more beautiful/intuitive UI, which is something i haven't even thought about. I'm just looking for a way to disable the usage of 'Username' all together, and for that it seems some sort of patching to the alternative login module would be required.
But yea - If privatemsg could allow messaging using custom CCK nodeprofile fields that would be awsome! ;)
