It would be very cool if user objects (that is to say User.BasicUser) could have a "fullname"-type attribute. This would also fit well in with other authentication schemes such as Windows NT, where users have a full name in addition to a login name. While I know I can name my users "John Doe" instead of "john" or "johnd", that's a pain for my users to enter in the login box -- think about those who have long names or middle initials. On the other hand, things like "john" isn't descriptive enough when we need a display name; for example, consider a simple document management system, where you define system users in an acl_user folder and tie the user name to documents' "owner" and "author" properties. In such cases display names would be very handy. Sure, I can create a TinyTable for looking up display names, but this isn't half as elegant or flexible. I don't think the addition of such an attribute would break any code, either. If nobody minds this little addition, I can probably devise a patch myself. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "`Ford, you're turning into a penguin.
