I upgraded to the latest -dev version and the "Override username theme" setting for RealName module does not seem to be working. This used to work in the previous version.

With the setting enabled:
1. The Real name is not shown in Navigation block
2. The Real name is not shown in My account page

The navigation block requires a theme change - there is another issue about this.

but this was working fine in 5.x-1.0 version.

what's the link to the other issue?

#349334: Real name in main menu

I'll take your word for it, but I don't know how it could have worked because the user module does not use "theme('username'..." (go figure). #73813: Main Navigation Box should allow for greater flexibility in customization (user.module)

positive - it does work, i checked again (and i havent hacked core or my theme). maybe you can try 5.x-1.0 to bring back that functionality. (let me know if you want me to email you the version of the module that's running on my site).

this problem also happens in the User Profile page (My Account).

thanks!

I just looked at the diff to 5.1 and don't really see anything that jumps out at me. It may have worked by accident and got "fixed" along the way.

That theming change should work in 5.x as well as 6.x. Check the doc page for a slight improvement to it (in the comments).

I can verify tborrome's report.

Yes, so can I. I can also verify that there are core bugs that are at play here.

I'm no coder but I'm willing to test any patches anyone wants to throw my way.
Wish I could offer more help.

This issue is marked as 'fixed'. Is this correct?

#1 is a fixed by the write up on how to theme the block.
#2 is fixed (more or less) in the 6.x version. I don't know how to fix it in 5.x because the menu hooks aren't there.

I'm sorry to say this, and I sincerely mean you no disrespect - but based on what you say in the last post I really don't think you can claim this issue is fixed for 5.x-1.x-dev. You should change it to 'wont-fix' - which is closer to 'can't fix' than 'fixed' don't you think?

The Navigation block change is purely theming, so everyone can fix that. After I get some feedback on the autocomplete testing, which has my code tied up right now, I may be able to figure out a way.

However, let me also point out that I am about to freeze 5.x, except for bugs, so don't expect a whole lot of features being added to 5.x. There are changes in 6.x already that will never be in 5.x.

Sorry if I'm being a bit slow here... but how?
