Attend with nickname instead the real name

Postby Wokaar » Sun Oct 31, 2010 11:47 am

Hi,
we have a great poker community and will manage the tournaments with the tournament director and Jevent as Attendance component.
If a player is attenting to a tournament we need in the display not the real name. There we need the nickname of the player.
Also in the list of the tournament screens and the avatar. Is there a possibility that this feature is switchable in the configuration?
Thank you
Wokaar

Are you using JomSocial or CB - in either case it is possible to display the user's avatar in the list of attendees.

Are you using the attendance, invitations and reminders addon or JEvents?

Hi,
I use the attend_jevent component and the CB.
I don't use the reminder.
The avatar was showed in the list, but there is also the real name of the player. :o
I can format the text (or name) of the avatar, but not every player has a avatar loaded. There would stay 10 placeholders.

I have the tournament director in use. This tool is handling the pokerevent and has export for jevent.
In this tool I must also export the nicknames.
Can I you an other combination of jevent-components to handle my things?

You can export attendees in the back end of attend jevents and select the fields you want to include.

Is the problem with the avatars the image that is displayed when there is no avatar?

There is the problem.
Our poker players are knows under their nicknames.
But the nickname is not available for export.
We have 1500 registered users in our community.

The avatar with a placeholder is not a problem.
The problem is the non existing nickname of the user in the Export.
There are only realnames.
We are using nicknames only.
Nobody would know my real name 8-)
I hope it helps.
I would have the nickname in the table registration.
And I would export this field for the tournament director.

If you create a text field and link it to the CB nickname - does that work?

Yes - if it works and picks up the nickname (which it should).

If I clone my session-template, there are the inner names not in the brackets like:{{REGISTRATION_FORM_FIELD,}}
It must be {{REGISTRATION_FORM_FIELD,Nickname}}
I can change it in the language file, but is this the right place? Or is there a record in the database to add the userdefined field in all Informationpages?
