@mdoggydog It looks like your solution here is to replace the enable names setting with one that takes a list of groups, and member’s names are only visible to those groups.
Note that this would still need to respect the display name on posts setting (and any other similar ones that may exist), so even allowed groups don’t see the name on posts if that setting is disabled.
Additionally, some other things we need to fix/change here as knock-on effects:
- Names should always be visible in the admin view of a user profile. This will be the case regardless of any settings.
- Names should only show in emails if the user is in an allowed group.
The above should fix the current issues, as well as make this feature more flexible and useful.
Does that sound like what you’re proposing here? If so, we would definitely be happy to have a look at any PR you submit with this update included.
