How to display fullname in Drupal instead of username using template.php

Submitted by sudeepg on Sat, 01/05/2008 - 20:49.

Following function in template.php does the trick:

function phptemplate_username($object) {

if ($object->uid && $object->name) {
    // Shorten the name when it is too long or it will break many tables.
    if (drupal_strlen($object->name) > 20) {
      $name = drupal_substr($object->name, 0, 15) .'...';
    }
    else {
      $name = $object->name;
    }
    $profile = user_load(array('uid' => $object->uid));
    if ($profile->profile_name_first." ".$profile->profile_name_last) {
      if (drupal_strlen($profile->profile_name_first." ".$profile->profile_name_last) > 20) {
        $name = drupal_substr($profile->profile_name_first." ".$profile->profile_name_last, 0, 15) .'...';
      }
      else {
        $name = $profile->profile_name_first." ".$profile->profile_name_last;
      }
    }

    if (user_access('access user profiles')) {
      $output = l($name, 'user/'. $object->uid, array('title' => t('View user profile.')));
    }
    else {
      $output = check_plain($name);
    }
}
else if ($object->name) {
    // Sometimes modules display content composed by people who are
    // not registered members of the site (e.g. mailing list or news
    // aggregator modules). This clause enables modules to display
    // the true author of the content.
    if ($object->homepage) {
      $output = l($object->name, $object->homepage);
    }
    else {
      $output = check_plain($object->name);
    }

    $output .= ' ('. t('not verified') .')';
}
else {
    $output = variable_get('anonymous', t('Anonymous'));
}

return $output;
}
