ZB URL in profile field I'm looking for a code that would allow members to choose a display name that's different then their display name since we've had various hacking attempts. The username would be what they log on as but their display name would be different. |

I know but I would still like it as a site feature since some members said they like it.

I don't understand. The multilogin feature was specifically created to allow users access to multiple usernames for role playing purposes. Using JavaScript to mimic said functionality because of security reasons is not going to improve the security of your site or your members. If they pick a difficult password then it would take a supercomputer years to find out what it is. |

Yes, but I have a roleplay system and most of the forum users usernames have nothing to do with their character so we're looking for a way for them to keep their username but display their display name on posts. |

Oh, Thanks! ![]() Would it be possible to change it everywhere on the board? Edited by Tyler Dream, Jul 22 2015, 06:44 AM.

Displaying a user-specified username via a profile field across the entirety of the board would require too much AJAX. |

The username could be stored with the built-in ZB cookie. |

Local storage and cookies apply to the clients web browser, so the display name would only change for that one user, not the entirety of the user-base. As far as I'm aware, AJAX is really the only solution and due to AJAX restrictions, it's not really possible. |

I agree with Cory. If you have multiple people changing their username that is displayed on the index page, you will need multiple AJAX requests to retrieve the changed username for each member. If it was stored in the board template it would be a simple code. |
