I dunno if this was ever posted before but I don't wanna read 10 pages. You can change the name displayed on the calender for birthdays from the user's login name to the user's publicly displayed name like this (this is assuming u have installed the hack already): *Please backup files before modifying*
Code
code:
After doing this, go to your cgi-bin directory and find a file called vars_calendar_events.cgi. Inside, for every event that is a birthday, you will see something like this:
Code
code:
where loginname = user's login name change this to
Code
code:
where publicname = corresponding user's publicly displayed name. CAUTION: the publicly displayed name MUST BE EXACTLY AS IT APPEARS IN THEIR PROFILE!!!
Reupload all the files.
Done. Based on the code, I believe the script was suppose to put the user's publicly displayed name on the birthdays. But it doesn't seem to work. So, I had to do this. I haven't found any errors yet. But if you do find errors, please go ahead and change it back.
I hope LK or jordo doesn't mind me providing this information. If you do mind, I'll be glad to remove this pronto. Also, I guess this is just to let you know that there is something wrong with the birthday name thing.
