atrium_username

atrium_username it is a Drupal feature for managing user name display in Open Atrium.

It's a lightweight alternative to realname module that try to "work" before theme layer (allowing users to plug their proper theme, not only the tao/ginkgo), using the node title of the user profile page to get the display name as follow:

function atrium_username_get_name($uid) {
  static $users = array();
  if (!isset($users[$uid])) {
    // get data from db DIRECTLY
    $users[$uid] = db_result(db_query("SELECT title FROM {node} WHERE type='profile' AND uid=%d", $uid));
  }
  return $users[$uid];
}

Notably it doesn't implements its own theme_username allowing another theme to override it.

The feature handles:

• Account Block
• User Profile
• Casetracker
• Theming User Name
• Notification
• User autocomplete
• Token

The features is aimed to solve a well known issue of Open Atrium:

• Open Atrium, LDAP, RealName and auto_nodetitle not working
• OpenAtrium and RealName module
• Display Full Name Instead of Username?
