User page displaying username not real name

Reverted back to 6.x-1.1 and experienced a similar problem but was able to isolate it a bit more. Probably the same issue in the more recent dev releases.

When using Content Profile to specify firstname, lastname fields during user registration, Real Name seems to break. The admin users list shows the real name, however the title field in the /users/# profile page reverts to username and the [realname] token fields are empty.

When creating an account through the admin interface and then adding the firstname, lastname fields to the profile after creation, this does not seem to be a problem, and everything works reasonably well. (Though in the minor issue category the [realname] token fields don't seem to work with Autonode Title for the content profile type being used to pull the name fields)

Changed title to reflect issue.

Just to let you know, there is a core bug with the user page breadcrumbs - and it is still there in D7.

I'm not super happy with this, but it seems to work. Please test the newest -dev version.

Committed to 6.x only.

I have the same problem in the 5 dev release. It fixed the invalid author name in comments problem but lost the real names in profiles and also in blocks. Should I start this as a new issue?

I have found that applying Anarchman's fix posted here: http://drupal.org/node/305707 to the current stable release 5.x-1.1 has fixed the problem: I now have realnames displaying on profile pages and in blocks, while the commenting and editing profile fields is also possible. I know this fix means 'authored by' details cannot now be changed - but this loss of functionality is minor compared to the overall enhancements provided by this brilliant module.

Active user name gets switched to "My Account"? I can see why you're not happy with the solution. That's in the marginally acceptable category ;) It has the downside of affecting all users.

I wonder if it would be possible to get Content Profile to patch the authorship problem on that side so as to avoid this "solution?"

See #375692: real name not displayed as title of "My account" page about "My account." This is now an option.

What I am unhappy with is that I had to do a lot of unnecessary (IMHO) code to bypass a core bug with the menu system. Take a look at "realname_menu_alter" - none of that should be needed.

realname_menu_alter.... Yeah, wow. That's quite a workaround.

Appreciate adding the option on "My account" on the latest dev release (along with the other work!). Many thanks. My account makes sense for some apps, but not as much when using the user page as a profile page rather than an account page.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

Is it possible to have this fix for the 5.x-1.x-dev version? Like others, I'm unable to upgrade to Drupal 6 due to other module issues.

Thanks

Was wondering if there are any developments on this?

Thanks

I also hope this can get fixed soon.
