Private Message :: Replace username by realname in "To:" field of new messages [#440186]

Hi,

I've read some issues related to my post but nothing that fits my needs.

In the attached image you can see the default autocomplete feature for usernames in new messages.
Is it possible to replace the username by the realname?

Sorry, if my question is to stupid but I'm a non-coder. Maybe someone could help me out.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards,
Stefan

I got this working in the 5.x version but have yet to port it. There are two flavors of autocomplete and I need to make them more generic.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. :)
Of course I will help to test this function and report bugs.
How soon can we expect the port to D6?

I believe that #391666: Adding table with calculated realnames is an important step in this, so I am concentrating on that first.

Wow, the stuff discussed in #391666: Adding table with calculated realnames sounds great. I'm looking forward to the innovations.
...and hope to read the next days/weeks from you in this thread.

Thank you very much for all your time! ...it's amazing, really!
