Quotes and Contact modules don't make use of Real Name

1) Submitted a patch to whom? If their username is their nickname, this wouldn't be hard to implement.

2) "Quote" or "Quotes"? I maintain Quotes and I know this works with it, although it may only be with a release I have yet to commit. I have never looked at the other (Quote) module, but they could easily make use of it, because this module adds "$node->realname" to the node. However, IIRC, Quote also deals with comments, and I haven't taken a look at what to do about comments.

3) I don't know what I can do here, but I'll look for a way. I don't do core hacks.

I just looked at some comments and they do appear to have the RealName showing.

I just committed a fix to take care of the contact form. I don't use the Quote module and have no idea how to integrate it.

Please resubmit the nickname request as a new issue. As I understand it, what you want is the ability to use a checkbox field in the profile to choose an alternate value for the RealName.

I have a problem with quote and realname.
In comment quotation show "-loginname- wrote" instead of "-realname- wrote".
I don't know if is a real bug, but if possible I would prefer to show realname in quotation.

Thx in advance

I cannot support thousands of contributed modules with specialized code. You need to encourage the developer of the Quote module to use theme('username', ... rather than just picking up the name.

Sorry to reopen this - I have just installed Real Name and it works real nice, except that when a user opens the contact form (ie the standard D6 contact module) he gets the login name instead of the real name in the "Name" field.
I judge from what I read above that this has actually been fixed - but maybe it has crept back in again? My version is:

Version: $Id: realname.module,v 1.4.4.49 2009/03/19 14:19:27 nancyw Exp $

Is the fix working for the Contact form? I'd also like to use the RealName vs. the username in my Contact form name field.

I'm using the 6.x-1.3 version and I'll try the dev version as well.

Any suggestions on what happened to this fix?

Never mind - looks like it's working in the Contact form in the dev version.

Thanks,

One thing I had to do was check the permissions and make sure the authenticated user had permissions to use RealName.

For #8

function quote_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
  if ($form_id == 'comment_form' && isset($_GET['quote']) && $_GET['quote']) {
    $nid = arg(2);
    $cid = arg(3);

    if ($cid) {
      $comment = db_fetch_object(db_query('SELECT c.*, u.uid, u.name AS registered_name FROM {comments} c INNER JOIN {users} u ON c.uid = u.uid WHERE c.cid = %d AND c.status = 0', $cid));

      if ($comment->uid) {
//        $author = $comment->registered_name;
        $author = theme('username', $comment, array('plain' => TRUE));
      }
      else {
        $author = (!empty($comment->name)) ? $comment->name : variable_get('anonymous', 'Anonymous');
      }
      $quote = $comment->comment;
      $subject = $comment->subject;
    }
    elseif ($nid && _quote_variable_get('node_link_display')) {
      $node = node_load(array('nid' => $nid));
      if (in_array($node->type, _quote_variable_get('node_types'))) {
        $quote = $node->body;
//        $author = !empty($node->name) ? $node->name : variable_get('anonymous', 'Anonymous');
        $author = !empty($node->name) ? theme('username', $node, array('plain' => TRUE)) : variable_get('anonymous', 'Anonymous');
      }
      else {
        return;
      }
    }
    else {
      return;
    }

I just did this and it works fine - so the change has to be made in the Quote module.

#14: see #11

About quote problem, I built a little module, overriding quote author theme (changing it with theme('username',...) )
