I have no idea where to start, but I want to be able to have a user name for logging in, and the option of having a display name that's different from the user name (or if no display name is chosen then the user name will be used in it's place.
This way I can log in with a user name I won't forget (URherenow) but all of my posts will say MBurns... or something like that.
I know some people have modified their forums so that the display name was their regular name (or some part of it). If you can find their posts, it should give you a starting point.
Thanks for both of your replys. I am using the realname_mod as a starting point. Should be really simple to do. I might figure this out after modifying the mod to suit my needs but for the sake of being a bit lazy (and in the chance that I don't figure this out on my own), how do I change the error message in:
if trim(Request.Form("DisplayName")) = "" then Err_Msg = Err_Msg & "<li>You must enter your last name</li>" end if
to sate DisplayName = Username ?
my biggest fear here is the use of parenthesis and quotation marks and such to get the statement correct. Also what variable to use as I've seen quite a few (i.e. I got from a different post that M_USERNAME had something to do with NT authentication for logins but there are also variables M_NAME and mM_NAME etc...)
