I am using Postnuke .762 and Autotheme .87. I would like to change the Welcome field to display a user's realname, not username. Is there a way I can do this?

I know in my theme is says [user-welcome] where the Welcome field should be and that user is defined in atCommands.php as .$username. I just don't know what I would change it to, to see the "realname" that is entered when I register the members.

The reason why I need to do this, is because I have a "country club" site where only members of the country club can register (which I as the admin do for each member). I use their country club member number as their username, since it is unique to each, but I don't want the members to see "Welcome 4335". I'd rather it say "Welcome John"...something more personal.

Can that be done?

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Sue

I got it to work, although I don't know if this is the right place to make changes:

In modules/AutoTheme/includes/postnuke/atApi.php on line 95, the original code was:

code:
function atGetUserName()
{
if (!atIsLoggedIn()) {
if (defined('_AT_GUEST')) {
$username = _AT_GUEST;
}
else {
$username = "";
}
}
else {
$username = pnUserGetVar('uname');
}
return $username;


I changed the 'uname' at line 106 to 'name':


<?$username pnUserGetVar('name');?>



It worked and so far haven't had any adverse effects from it. I'll post back if I notice any problems.
