Category: Realname

Use case: LDAP setups with numeric ID's for usernames: the admin needs to be able to switch to some user's account to check that settings and perms are as expected for that usergroup, etc. I know the co-worker names, but I don't know their ID's in the setup, other than manually checking at the users list and infer it's name from their email.

This line seems to control it at the template for the login box module:
{CODE()}
{autocomplete element="#login-switchuser_"|cat:$module_logo_instance type="username"}
{CODE}

which implies that there is a function.autocomplete.php smarty_tiki file.

I managed to make the userrealname display in the dropdown box. But I need that userrealname as label, while keeping the username as option to be used internally (otherwise the switch user does not work, as far as I could see)

1st attempt:
-------------------
I tried with this type of syntax, but it didnt' work:
{CODE()}
{autocomplete element="#login-switchuser_"|cat:$module_logo_instance type="userrealname" options="label:userrealname,value:username"}
{CODE}

since that is what I understood from here:
http://api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#option-source


2nd attempt:
-------------------
I also tried modifying function.autocomplete.php and the
mod-login_box.tpl to end up producing this syntax (as I could see in the
html source of the produced page):
{CODE()}
$("#login-switchuser_2").tiki("autocomplete", "userrealname", { source:[label:"userrealname",value:"username"] });
{CODE}

but it didnt' work either.

Any tips on how to write it in the proper jquery and smarty syntax?

Display Realname instead of login at the ((doc:Action Log)) for admins or non-admins with permission to see log reports (teachers seeing reports of their students, project managers seeing reports on their workers, etc)

For those cases (such as LDAP in which username can be just a numeric ID of the user but RealName is the meaningful info/name for that user) where the tiki admin chose to display Realname instead of login where possible.

Setting, for instance, at : tiki-wizard_admin.php?&stepNr=17&url=index.php (Set up User & Community features):
user_show_realnames : "Show user's real name instead of login (when possible)"

One can ask for the realName "admin" and get it with no problem. In fact, all the 1000 users of a site could be called admin.

When I configure Tiki with User Tracker, I can set «Tracker field IDs to sync the "real name" pref from» in tiki-admin.php?page=login

This is ignored. No synchronization happens.

I don't know whether it's a regression or not.

There is a feature called "Show user's real name instead of login in autocomplete selector in trackers feature" (Admin/Config Wizard > Community General Settings). I ensured that the user field in the tracker is set to display realname also instead of username. The feature works when listing items through the tracker itself of plugin trakerlist, etc., but ....

__....it does not do the job at the autocomplete selector for the filtering of items__.

See it reproduced here:
http://xavi-9794-5892.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker.php?trackerId=1&status=o&sort_mode=created_desc&filterfield=10&filtervalue[10]=user1&filtervalue[2]=&filtervalue_other=&filtervalue[3]=&filtervalue_other=&filtervalue[4]=&filtervalue_other=&filtervalue[5]=&filtervalue_other=&filtervalue[6]=&filtervalue_other=&filtervalue[7]=&filtervalue_other=&filtervalue[8]=&filtervalue_other=&filtervalue[9]=&filtervalue_other=&filtervalue[11]=&filter=Filter#

u: admin
p: 12345

This can disclose taxID's or other not-so-public information in LDAP setups.

Take Username internally (even if Realname displayed in the To field for users) in the intratiki messaging feature

intratiki messaging displays Realname (when the pref. is selected to do so), but Tiki needs to somehow convert that string back into the username internally in Tiki, since the user sees the user's Realname in the "To" field, but Tiki expects usernames to know who to send the message to.

---
Update: Pending to fix: when you reply to a previous message, you still get the usernames added at the "To" field, instead of the realnames. Therefore, when replying, you get the message that no valid user was there to reply to, since Tiki, in current revisions, and with that configuration, expects the realnames in the "To" field.

admin home/community/user preference screen is on

* Created a user tracker with a user preference field, "realName", which is asked from the user at registration time. One can fill in at registration an edit box for the field, but the field is not updated. Neither is the realName user preference set (if looking at the user preference screen).

* If the realName user preference is set on the user preference screen, it does show up in the tracker.

* The view_tracker_item / edit tab does not show an edit box. (another bug perhaps)

unknown
* if it worked for email user pref.

known
* a standalone tracker plugin does work either, while the item's last modification date changes (used for an existing tracker item, offering a single input field to change the real name)
* wikiplugin_tracker.php does not contain any 'p', which would refer to the user preference type

On a Tiki25;

* Tracker to store the user information a username field and a name field
* Login (tiki-admin.php?page=login) : Use email as username enable, User tracker IDs to sync prefs from enabled, Tracker field IDs to sync the "real name" pref from
* In User (tiki-admin.php?page=user&cookietab=3) Show user's real name is enabled
* In tracker settings (tiki-admin.php?page=trackers), Show user's real name is enabled
* In groups, User Registration Tracker, select tracker and field.

Admin create manually users (no registration).
My Admin as now the first real name available on the list even without being linked with a tracker item.
