[#2519] Members' Real Names Showing Up In Emails was created by GoremanX
Considering the strict requirement to use "Format Name" with GroupJive, I find it ironic that my members' REAL names are being used in the emails that GroupJive sends out, even though CB is set to use Usernames instead. This is a privacy risk.
Ideally:
- The "From" field of the email should be the web site name
- The respective members Format Names should be in the body of the email (ie. Dear Jane, Tarzan has invited you to join the Jungle group)
How do I accomplish this ASAP? It's kinda urgent. Members are complaining.

The emails are language strings so you're welcome to change what substitutions are used. Currently formatname field I believe is used which could be username, name, or email based off your CB configuration. Simply editing the language string responsible for the email you could change the display to whatever you like.

more specifically: the email's "From" field contains the user's real name, not the body. This has nothing to do with language strings.
As I stated above, I have CB set to use usernames only.
file cbgroupjive.class.php line 2166:

I see, yes that is hardcoded. I though you were referring to the name in the email body it self. Have made a bug ticket to have this fixed from being hardcoded to use fortmatname field as all other places of GJ use.

meanwhile, how can I change it? Do I just change "name" to "formatname"? Because I don't think that's actually a database field.

No, you change $user_from->name to $cbUser_from->getField( 'formatname', null, 'html', 'none', 'profile' ). This would resolve your issue and use formatname (CB configured name display).
