Is there any setting I’m missing that would cause some users usernames to show on posts and not others? e.g. SailPoint IdentityNow VS Code Extension Now Available - #9 by tranetechnologies - Announcements - SailPoint Developer Community

To anyone who finds this later, this is the answer to my question: [image] Random users usernames not showing on posts Support You’ll forgive me I hope for being unsure here, I’m not actually “working” at the moment rofl Do all of the usernames that are not showing up match the firstname_lastname pattern? IIRC Discourse suppresses display of usernames in the specific case where the Full Name “matches” the Username. But this is the solution for adjusting the behavior: [image] Random users usernames not showing on posts Support I think this #theme-component could help

[image] Michael Brown: I’m not actually “working” at the moment :rofl: Then as far as I’m concerned, you’re just a regular like me :slight_smile: [image] Michael Brown: Do all of the usernames that are not showing up match the firstname_lastname pattern? Yeah, wow I never noticed it did that…is that documented somewhere? and is it able to be disabled?

[image] Jordan Violet: and is it able to be disabled? this looks like the applicable code to override: app/assets/javascripts/discourse/app/lib/plugin-api.js a183f14d0 /** * Allows you to disable suppression of similar username / names on posts * If a user has the username bob.bob and the name Bob Bob, one of the two * will be suppressed depending on prioritize_username_in_ux. * This allows you to override core behavior **/ disableNameSuppressionOnPosts() { disableNameSuppression(); }

I hope to one day find the time to learn to build theme components. For now I just hid all usernames for consistency’s sake.

They are hidden because it seems silly or noisy to display a name twice in a row. I believe that there There is a setting that you can change to have it display anyway. There are some similar settings with “suppress” I in them that do similar things in other circumstances, but I can’t find the one you want on my phone right now.

i think it may be prioritize_username_in_ux ? :thinking:

No, this setting doesn’t override this behavior :slight_smile: I didn’t find a setting to display both the username and name when they are identical (minus spaces) and it might require a component or plugin.

I think this #theme-component could help [image] Remove Name Suppression on Posts Theme component discourse2 Summary Remove Name Suppression on Posts disables the suppression of similar name / usernames on posts. eyeglasses Preview Preview on Discourse Theme Creator hammer_and_wrench Repository Link https://github.com/discourse/remove-name-suppression-on-posts open_book New to Discourse Themes?

This was exactly it, thanks @Moin! [image] Jay Pfaffman: They are hidden because it seems silly or noisy to display a name twice in a row. I believe that there There is a setting that you can change to have it display anyway. I agree with you, and at the same time it’s inconsistency UX to display most as name > username > title, and on seemingly random (to the uninitiated of this feature) not show some usernames and it just be name > title. I’m glad this feature exists for my use case! As usually, just showing how incredibly malleable this platform is to one’s needs in customizing their community.
