Hi,

how can i change the name of the admin? I dont want to make a second account for that.
i want to change the name from "admin" into, err, yeah, "miles". or something like that. whatever.

in the admin area, addons section: execute sql query

[code]
update jcow_accounts set username = 'Miles' where id = 1;
[/code]

it works. thanks.

oh, and another question: the profilequestion "real name". Can i delete that from the registration-formular and from the profile? i dont need username AND the real name. its just twice.

The username is the one someone will use in signing in. And the real name is his full name.

Hmmm strange does nothing for me

did you put the ; at the end of the line ?

Yip doesn't do anything for me...

I tried the username changer mod too and that kind of works the only problem with that is it spits out error when I go to profile page...

Not Found

The requested URL /u/AL was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

you can edit the accounts table in phpmyadmin

or maybe you can try with jcow_accounts and username and id

adding the `

maybe for some reason the id of admin is not 1 or the accounts table has another prefix other than jcow_

changing the username can cause troubles.

i changed my username from admin into Miles (just a test, on my localhost) and when clicked on the link in the news feed to see the profile i got an 404 error. For some reason, this doesn't happen with the name miles. Also when you became friend with somebody before the change of username, the old username remains in the news feed because it was written to the database.

By the way. in the new version of Jcow, the real name will be displayed on the profile, but not in the forums.

You can use this modules.
