GREAT !! But, how does one edit the names later ?
This discussion is related to the FirstLastNames addon.
Just wanted to give a BIG Thank you for making this :) been waiting for something like this for a long time.
Found some troubles.. Checked out the profile page and cant seem to find any settings to edit my first name or last name. How to do that ?
It would also be great if there was an option to enable displaying the real name instead or together with the username in the discussions.
may be something that looks like this..

$Configuration['Plugins']['FirstLastNames']['DisplayNames'] = TRUE;Actually, why don't I just add some dashboard options...

0 • Off Topic Insightful Awesome LOL •MAN ! Thats awesome :D 1.2 is like my dream come true :) Didnt thought you'd do it super quick !
couple of suggestions.
when the Use Displayname option is enabled from the admin panel, posts of those who are already registered without a firstname or second name are left with blank Names. It would be nice to replace it with the username itself if the user havent entered any first or second name.
When the display name or @username is clicked it goes to the userprofile. dunno if its possible, but it'd be cool when clicked on the @username (with use displayname option enabled) that it automatically inserts an @username mention in the reply box.

The mention works like a charm, I remember someone posting a plugin which was only intended for just the mention purpose but still didnt work properly for everyone.
btw. found some bugs..
posts of those with no first or last name given are still left blank when the use display name option is enabled.
and something that I noticed, you dont see the @username link immediately if you reply on a discussion. but its visible when you refresh it.

0 • Off Topic Insightful Awesome LOL •The second issue is an easy fix, but not a major issue since you know what your own username is. ;)
As for the first, that's very odd, since I tested it on my forum and it seemed to work. I'll just make the check more robust I guess.
