Options for user display

RT Users

UMBC is on version 4.2.11 and one of the changes when we upgraded involves what gets displayed for privileged and unprivileged users.

Our previous version allowed for Name, Email, and Real Name and this was so beneficial for many reasons. We use our unique campus-id in the Name

Is there an option in 4.2.11 that would allow me to have this option again?

Thanks

Are you talking about when the names are displayed in places like the
History or the People portlet?

If so, yes that is still possible. I’ve attached the site specific
module that we use for customizing the display. I haven’t audited the
code in a while, so chances are the code is suboptimal, FYI.

And then these configs in your site config:

Plugin(‘RT::Site::UMN::Duluth::UsernameFormat’);
Set($UsernameFormat, ‘umd00’);

Of course changing site specific things to your site.
