My Roundcube catch automatically the username (" username ") for the Display Name, and i want to the app select the Complet Name.

Thx & regards.

Go to Personal Settings > Identities and modify the settings for the identitiy. By default the username is used for Display Name.

The display named is also stored in the mysql table "identities" in the column "name". Maybe you can create an sql query to update that information from another source.

check out version 0.3 with the plugin API, there is a plugin /trunk/roundcubemail/plugins/new_user_identity/new_user_identity.php ? RoundCube Webmail which might do what your want or could be modded to do it.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing that I'm looking for, I would like the users full name (first and surname) to show on the main page. I have managed to get the "username" but I can't find out how to get the "real" name.

You can use the RC object: to display the named used in the the field "Display Name" from the identities.

I already managed to do that but it shows the users login name (testuser@test.com not Test User). So I just want firstname and surname, is it possible?

I'm using a Leopard Server LDAP for the login and adressbook,if it's that you mean.

Then you should be able to use the plugin mention by JohnDoh, maybe with a few modifications to match your ldap server. With this plugin you can store the firstname and surname in the the field used by .

Please note that this plugin does not update existing users, just new users and this plugin is only available for version 0.3 of RoundCube (or higher).
