How to replace the Avatar display name in Dolphin

We have been told by our development team that there is no way possible to change the display name that is attached ( displayed ) to an Avatar.    Currently the persons username is displayed with the Avatar.   We need to change the display name with something that is more readable such as "Mary & Tim".

Is there a way to do this ?

I would be interested in this solution as well.

Just an educated guess, but try starting in the modules/boonex/avatar/classes/BxAvaModule file.  Most of the time the nickname is generated by a function called getNickName().

 

I really haven't examined it.  This is just an educated guess to perhaps get you going in the right direction.

be careful changing function though because many things are tied to things such as Uri.  Changing 1 thing may be simple, but this could potentially create a domino effect of broken links.

Some things may give you diminishing return for the amount of work that you put into them
