Topic: Show the real name in post
How to show the real/nick name (not user name) in post?
Thanks!
Re: Show the real name in post
You mean instead of it? You want to use login/pass just for logging in, and then real name value?
If yes, it's almost impossible. Username value exist in hundreds of places in code (like viewtopic, viewforum, index, search, profile, extern, edit, post.... omg - it's just everywhere)
In theory it is possible, but I'll not do this 
Simplest way will be force users to use real name as username

It shouldn't be that hard...
First, replace line 275 on 'viewtopic.php' with:
'SELECT' => 't.subject, t.posted, t.poster, t.first_post_id, t.closed, t.num_replies, t.sticky, f.id AS forum_id, f.forum_name, f.moderators, fp.post_replies, u.realname',Next, replace line 317 from the same file with:
if ($cur_post['realname'])
$forum_page['post_ident']['byline'] = '<span class="post-byline">'.sprintf((($cur_post['id'] == $cur_topic['first_post_id']) ? $lang_topic['Topic byline'] : $lang_topic['Reply byline']), (($forum_user['g_view_users'] == '1') ? '<a title="'.sprintf($lang_topic['Go to profile'], forum_htmlencode($cur_post['username'])).'" href="'.forum_link($forum_url['user'], $cur_post['poster_id']).'">'.forum_htmlencode($cur_post['realname']).'</a>' : '<strong>'.forum_htmlencode($cur_post['realname']).'</strong>')).'</span>';
elseif ($cur_post['poster_id'] > 1)And... you're done! (It worked for me)

@Garciat
but it is showing it only on post list (viewtopic)
even "Last edited by" will keep username

Maybe... but I think hiding the username completely would be a nice thing to do, because it would make account theft harder, right?

Yes, it will 
It's very good for security.
But in this case easier will be to use emial address to logging in, because it is currently required, usually hidden and unique, and it will not make any problems if you have any special national chars in your name, and you will need to log in on machine without your keyboard layout installed.
