phabricator-fullname

Unofficial patch to display Fullnames (realname) beside usernames in Phabricator., _(*1)

Often useful when importing users from a corporate LDAP where the usernames are auto-generated txf032 etc., _(*2)

Updates

The project is considered in a usable state and feature complete., _(*3)

This project is used in corporate applications. As such, the authors are unlikely to update it on a regular basis, but instead when the corporate applications that use it run into problems. You should expect updates in the 5-10yr range., _(*4)

Issues and PRs will be monitored, and we will continue to work with the community to provide updates as they are contributed., _(*5)

Installing

cd phabricator
git apply fullname.patch

Creating

Aim to make the less changes possible. This is why we only replace getName with getFullname instead of removing the whole case statement., _(*6)

Checkout Phabricator. Make two copies of the phabricator subdir, a and b. Make your changes to b., _(*7)

git patch a b > fullname.patch

Send in a PR, please make sure to include from what date onwards it is good for., _(*8)

Upstream

As of 2017-01-08 there is no interest from upstream in providing this as an option. Phacility instead recommends you maintain a patch yourself. This is that patch., _(*9)
