username to fullname - top right of Modx Revo CP

Quick Q. Is there a setting to switch the username to the logged in users fullname at the top right of revo?
Thanks

I don't know of one. I think you'd have to change the Manager template or use a plugin attached to OnManagerPageBeforeRender. Changing the Manager template would be easier, but you'd have to find it, and your change might be overwritten when you upgrade MODX unless you create your own Manage template.

Whenever I change the Manager template or styling, I duplicate the existing default template, then edit my duplicate and tell MODX to use my duplicate. That way nothing gets overwritten on updates.

First you need to edit the controller file, /manger/controllers/<theme-name>/header.php around line 93:

The template to edit is in /manager/templates/<theme-name>/header.tpl, line 52:

$this->setPlaceholder('fullname',$userprofile->get('fullname'));

{if $canChangeProfile}<a class="modx-user-profile" href="?a={$profileAction}">{$fullname}</a>{else}<span class="modx-user-profile">{$fullname}</span>{/if}

Hi,

There is another (simplest) way to do this :

Just change manager_use_fullname to yes in the system setting.
Et voilà ! ;-)

Yes, that would definitely be easier.
