Allow custom truncate username settings

Created on 17 July 2016, over 8 years ago
Updated 30 January 2023, almost 2 years ago

Problem/Motivation

Very often people need a way to disable display and username truncating, but core theme_username always truncates at 20 chars. Screens become wider and wider and this limit should be removed or at least increasable. There are also situation where module maintainers like to disable the truncating or know how wide their tables are and they have more space. In such a case they should be able to increase the length.

Proposed resolution

Custom settings to conditionally disable or change the behaviour.

  • 'format_username' => TRUE,
  • 'truncate' => TRUE,
  • 'max_length' => 20,

Remaining tasks

Review the patch.

User interface changes

None.

API changes

None, just 3 new variables.
