I know it sounds stupid, but I really needed a forum working with real names, and not the usernames...

This Snitz forum i'm trying to use won't allow people to subscrobe, I'll be giving people's usernames and it'll make it hard to find out who's posting or not by names like "student01" and "student02".

Could someone give me a help?

I'm not a programmer, but if you tell me which files should I modify and in which codes, selects or things like this, I can handle. :)

thanks. :D

PS: Not urgent, but really important...

Olá .

What you want is to show the member's real name when displaying topics, in topic.asp, or you want even more than that? Or in what other situation do you want the user's name to be displayed?

Also, if you are registering them yourself, wouldn't it be possible for you to create their usernames using the real names (example: Alexandra Teixeira instead of ateixeira)? The forum allows the use of usernames with spaces.

Olá!! ;)

Well, mostly I need the real names in the topics. I could use the real names when registering them, but the idea is register all the students with their codes, so "Joăo Paulo Silva" will read "12345", and that's not exactly intuitive. ;)

It would be useful also displaying real names in the "members" list. Moderators colum may remain with usernames, or it'll get way to large.

That's the forum i'm setting:

Thanks!!

Try this message: http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=true&TOPIC_ID=33928

It has simultaneously less and more than you need, but it should provide a clear roadmap for changing topic.asp. You can get rid of city and state and add member's last name, but it should not be too difficult to handle that, right?

I can't get there, registration is needed. Can you provide the details of a valid (test) account for your forum?

Also did you apply the changes both at lines# 109 and 312?

I did all the changes, and it goes like this:

First reply "the one that opens the topic" is just perfect: real name and last name.

But then in the second reply the real name goes diferent (I made it bold, but it doesn't show bold) and give me this error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' 
Type mismatch: '[string: "resposta"]' 

/forum/topic.asp, line 685


What is this?


Would you mind if I make a registration for you so you can see it?

Yeah, register an account for me and I'll have a look. One other thing: save your topic.asp as topic.txt, upload it to your site and post a link to it so that I can have a look.

Ok, will have a look. One of the difficulties here is that the line# where the error is occurring is not correct, so it's hard to figure what's causing that. Be back to you ASAP.

Ok, at line 313:

	strSql = strSql & ", M.M_TITLE, M.MEMBER_ID, M.M_HOMEPAGE, M.M_LEVEL, M.M_POSTS, M.M_COUNTRY, M.M_FIRSTNAME, M.M_CITY, M.M_LASTNAME"	


remove the code in red, because you already have those fields being requested in the previous line. This should fix it.
