Its been some time since the original issue and patches.

Since then this module now uses the users display name instead of the username, which resolves 1/2 of what was being addressed in the original patches.

I have created MR!121 which adds realname support to the autocomplete query for the members widget if realname is installed.

here is a patch for the MR to use with composer.

Last patch in #22 was wrong, some unintended changes made it in there.
this one should work with composer

Isn't this reduced to the idea of using User::getDisplayName()?

@claudiu.cristea I dont believe that getDisplayName() is a queryable field, right?

I'm trying to get the auto complete search to use the compiled display name that is stored in the realname table.

Thank you. I think you're right. I'm not a very big fan of adding module soft dependencies (aka "if module exists..."). Is there any way you can hook in from a 3rd-party and alter the suggestions? At least maybe we can create a submodule to add realname support. I admit I didn't have time to give a deeper look at this

Thanks. Since the original post, this module now has its own entity reference selection plugin instead of using a direct query. So I created an issue in realname to support private_message which is just a small change and it appears to be working with the 3.0 branch.

✨ Private Message module support Active

claudiu.cristea → closed merge request !121

I think now, with 4.x, it still can be fixed here.

@loze, could you please try MR!175 but without the Real Name patch?

Yes, MR!175 does appear to do the job with version 4.0 alpha

thanks!

Thank you, @lotze

I have fixed also the schema alteration for default:user plugin settings just in case. I will merge this MR as soon as you test again the latest version MR against 4.0.0-alpha1 and confirm that works as expected by setting this issue status to RTBC

Tested with alpha2 and dev and it seems to do the trick. Thanks!

Merged. Thank you!

Included in 4.0.0-alpha3
