i have a private site that only my friends and family are members of. when i change permissions, i would like the autocomplete to drop down fullnames instead of usernames when it searches.

can someone explain to me how to change that? or at least in what file i would change that in?

thanks.

The form uses the username to pass the permission. I might be a more work that it is worth to populate the text box with the full name yet pass the username on form submission.

look in modules/core/templates/ItemPermissions.tpl

yeah i actually got all the way to populating the autocomplete with the fullname, but only to find out it was trying to pass the fullname as the username.

the more and more users that join my site, the more impossible it is to target them with everyone's crazy usernames. so its worth it to me to figure out how to change that.
