DisplayUsernames

Displays a user's username instead of their full name across OSSN UI by applying a fetch-time override to user objects.

This component:

• Does not modify database records
• Is reversible (disable/delete component)

Compatibility

• OSSN >= 8.6 (adjust requirement if needed)

Install

1. Zip the component folder (see below)
2. Admin Panel → Components → Component Installer
3. Upload the zip and enable DisplayUsernames

Uninstall

1. Admin Panel → Components → Disable
2. (Optional) Delete the component
3. Clear cache

Notes / Caveats

• This changes runtime display fields (fullname, first_name, last_name), so emails/notifications/3rd-party components may also show usernames.
• If you want to show @username instead of username, edit the component to prefix @.

Release notes

• 1.0: Initial release. Displays @username instead of full name.
