By default, when a new user entered the chat room, the Display Name of this user is generated based on DotNetNuke username. You can change it based on user's LastName or user's FirstName.

 

I want it to be based on user's LastName and user's FirstName.

 

How do I do that?

Hello ,

 

If you use the DNN intergration code , maybe you can find

 

        Public Function GetUserDisplayName(ByVal useruniquename As String) As String Implements CuteSoft.Chat.IHttpApplicationDataProvider.GetUserDisplayName
            Return GetUser(useruniquename).FirstName
        End Function

 

In the Global.asax or Global.asax.cutechat.vb .

 

You can change the implementation to :

 

Dim user As DotNetNuke.Entities.Users.UserInfo = GetUser(useruniquename)

return user.FirstName +","+user.LastName

 

Regards , Terry .

 

 

Hi Terry,

 

I have tried this implementation in Global.asax.cutechat.vb file and it still pulls the username in the chat lobby instead of first name.  Is there anything else that I need to change?

 

Thanks,

Sirisha

Sirisha,

 

That's the only step you need.

 

Have you uploaded the changed file to your server??
