Subj.

I want do disallow ordinary users to edit their display_name in profile.

How could i do it ?

For WordPress the problem was solved by adminimize plugin. Maybe such a way for BB exists?

There is a disable display name plugin for this very purpose.

Thanks. But it’s not exactly what i wanted to….

This plugin disables display_name edition capability, and display_name displaying too…

“user_login” displayed instead of “display_name”

could anyone help me to fix that plugin to achieve the goal ?

function disable_display_name($display_name=””, $id=0){$user = bb_get_user( bb_get_user_id( $id ) ); return $user->user_login;}

Any update on this?
I too am curious about preventing regular (non-admin) users from changing their display and/or names.
