I want the subject line of email notifications to use the poster's real name, not login or alias. Is this a global setting I missed, or do I edit

iemail_frm_subject and replace VAR:poster_login with
VAR:??????????? (poster's real name).

Thanks a bunch in advance.

The real name is not being fetched by the query, so you need to modify the query inside imsg_edt.inc.t to fetch the column from the users table and then use it inside the template.

I had a feeling that was the answer.
I think we'll just use the real name as the alias, and I'll mod the email template to use the alias in the subject line.

Thanks!

The simplest solution, to avoid many modifications is to modify the query and using AS keyword change the realname column name to alias. This way you only need to edit a single file.
