name_from_id

[Brandin]

Hello,

The

Code:

name_from_id

function is putting a capital letter for the first character, however the first letter in my username is not capital. How can I reverse this in the function or have it not do this in the first place? I am okay with making a custom function I just can't figure out why it is doing this in the first place.

Thank you.

Name from ID is rarely used. You could always just edit helpers.php. It probably has ucfirst(something) in there. There is a similar function in us_helpers called echouser that does the same thing. You have more control over that one in the admin panel.

I was only using name from ID as that was what you were using on the admin.php page for recently active to display "Deleted" or "-" or whatever when a user does not exist. Does echouser perform the function? Will it echo "Deleted" or something else other than an error when it can't find it.

Thanks!

echouser puts a - if fort some reason it doesn't find that user.
