Show users' name instead of username (login) in ticket's owner field

[dserodio@…]

My users asked me if it was possible to show the user's name (real name) instead of the username (login) in the 'Assign to' drop-down, so I implemented this feature.

It works like this:

• If the value of the restrict_owner setting in TracIni is true or username, it shows the username, which is the current behaviour;
• If the value of the restrict_owner setting in TracIni is name and the user's name is known, the user's name is shown.

Patch against r2322

IMHO, username also should be available in selection, for example as:

Name (username)

This patch breaks notification!!'''

Stil working on patch for this patch. If anybody finds solution for this problem sooner, please post it here!

I think I fixed it! At source:/trunk/trac/Notify.py@2333#L85​ change username with name! It works for me, as far as I tested it!

Sorry for jumping the gun on this, I didn't test notification before submitting this patch.
Digging deeper, I found that the <select> fields didn't have a value attribute (#2063), so the "label" (show to the user) has to be the same as the "value" (foreign key to the selected entity).

So I implemented a fix​ for both this ticket and #2063, but it's a much more "intrusive" change, if anyone wants to help me test it, I'd be thankful.

I also implemented your sugestion, so if restrict_owners=name+username, User's Name (username) is shown.

PS: Should I accept this ticket, or should only "comitters" accept tickets?

New patch, replaces the previous one

[dserodio@…]

Sorry, the previous patch had some "leftovers"

[vyt@…]

Danial, in your patch trac-r2353.fix-2178-and-2063-v2.diff exist mistype, templates/ticket.cs (for line 197):

<?cs var option:value ?>

Now this patch is huge for me, since I have already some modifications of code for translation.

Please update patch against trac-0.9 release and I'll try it again.

Sorry, s/Danial/Daniel/ :)

Might be considered for milestone:0.12

I think it would be worth waiting for the IUserDirectory implementation.
