make !username use themed username

subscribing
I would appreciate it very much if it was the themed username as well.

Hi,

I'm coming over from #727676: Token support
It seems like token support will not be available anytime soon in 6.x of this module, but it would be great if the !username can be changed to use the themed username.

This will greatly benefit those customizing the username in template.php or using realname module.
Can this please be looked into?

Thanks!

The question I have about using the themed username is that normally theme('username') is meant to return you an HTML link to the user's profile. The email sent by email_confirm and Drupal core itself is text only so I'm wondering how you square text emails with the HTML themed username?

That being said I think the solution for this and others is to introduce a new hook that will allow the replacement variables for things such as !username to be altered. This has the advantage of not requiring Token module but still allowing for the use of Token in the hook implementation for your specific site.

Hi jaydub,

The themed username was added into Mail Editor module at #792244: Add !username_themed; replace Subscriptions' *_realname? with the below lines. This allowed the themed username to be added without html into the emails being sent out. I look forward to following your work and helping with any testing needed.

I appreciate you looking into this.

       $tokens['!username']= "User's username";
+      $tokens['!username_themed']= "User's username (themed)";
       $tokens['!site']= 'Site name';
       $tokens['!login_url']= 'One time login URL for password reset';
       $tokens['!uri_brief']= "Website's URL without the leading http://";

     '!username' => $account->name,

Reopening this until the patch for Mail Edit support is committed pending review.

Closing as the Mail Editor integration work was committed long ago.
