Hi
cause of developing a central login script, we need to synchronize some data, which is common in more than one module in all databases.
So like your NickName, or eMail/Password, Birthday, and so on
One of those redundant database collected infos is First/Last name
The issue with replicating this is, that forum automatically displays the realname, there is no switch to change forum settings to display the nickname
So the question is, do you need a function, which allows you after first synchronize to change the name back into the nickname(this overwrites the first/last name, but we wont back synchronizue it..)
It is little bit confusing, but I think it is a good idea to display the realname (and add the nickname to your custom title)
I believe it helps to get a little bit more familiar/real here, on real life events you also wont talk to each other with nicknames...
So let me know, what you think
Btw, data in forum/userlist and so on, is only available to registered people, so no auto-adding into google and so on
For a really FIRST look into alpha login script (it only syncs your data currently, so your birthday in forum and people should get in snyc for example) see
