Real Name Module (5.1 and 5.2 ready)

I uploaded a new version of the Real Names module (version 2.0.5) to the v2 message from this thread. 2.0.4 was never released, because it only had changes for the Phorum 5.2 development tree. Here's the changelog for both 2.0.4 and 2.0.5:

2007-01-17 version 2.0.5 by Maurice Makaay <maurice@phorum.org>

    - Added quoting options, which mimic the BBcode and Phorum
      default quoting methods, only with the real name used
      instead of the username. See the README for more information
      on using the quote functionality of the Real Names module.

    - Added a check to see if the real_name custom field does
      HTML escaping on its own or not (based on the "HTML Disabled"
      field setting). If it doesn't, the real_name module will do
      the escaping to prevent XSS problems. This prevents the
      real_name from being escaped twice before displaying. A user
      with a real-name like "<john>" would be displayed as
      "&lt;john&gt;" on screen before.

      Beware: this change has implications for the required behaviour
      for real_name plugins. The displayname that has to be returned
      by a plugin now has to be correctly HTML escaped. See also
      the README for this module.

2006-10-11 version 2.0.4 by Maurice Makaay <maurice@phorum.org>

    - Added support for the followed threads control center page
      in Phorum 5.2.

    - Added support for rewriting the username on the "Show all
      posts by user" search page (Phorum 5.2).

I uploaded a new version of the Real Names module (version 2.1.0) to the v2 message from this thread. Here's the changelog for this version:

2007-01-30 version 2.1.0 by Maurice Makaay <maurice@phorum.org>

    - Added new plugin functionality, which enables other modules
      to supply extra rewrite rules to this module. This way, it's
      not needed anymore to add rewrite rules for other modules
      and addons to the rewrite_rules.src file of this module.
      See the README file (section "Supplying extra rewrite rules")
      for information on the use of this feature.

    - Changed the code compilation. Instead of writing one
      code file in the cache dir, which contains all rewriting code
      for all pages, now separate files are written per Phorum page.
      This method is better for the module's performance in case
      there are a lot of rewrite rules for many pages.

As I explained in Quoting style, and Markdown and Real Name modules, the default Phorum quoting style doesn't result in nice, structural markup when using the Markdown module. My modifications are written up in that thread, so (as indicated there) here I'm only attaching my modified Real Name module (sorry, zip only); CHANGELOG properly extended.

Well, that plugin doesn't work for 5.2 version. "phorum_user_get" - missing function. Please fix that plugin.

This module will not be fixed for Phorum 5.2. It is no longer needed. If you go to the general settings page in the admin interface, you can find an option to specify whether the username or the real_name has to be used as the display name for your users.
