Usability: Learner's Full name showing in breadcrumbs despite setting Fullname = Firstname

Usability: Learner's Full name showing in breadcrumbs despite setting Fullname = Firstname

Hi, I need help -

I want learners to only see the first name of other learners, so I went to 'Site Policies' and set 'Full name format' to 'First name'. By definition, this should mean that: "This defines how names are shown when they are displayed in full." (i.e. only the first name should display.

This on the whole works, EXCEPT in the breadcrumbs.

Learners can see the full name in breadcrumbs, e.g. on 'view.php'

  • Home > My courses > Chatroom > Participants > Mary Smith > View Profile

How can I fix this?

Please help! Thank you so much in advance!

This is an important issue. Sorry I can't help you! I suppose it can only be changed in the code, but I don't know for sure.

But please join us in this thread http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=168746 and the bug tracker issue to discuss how breadcrumbs must be changed!
