Modifying Student Real Names¶

Changing Real Names on the Wiki¶

Todo

Install phpMyAdmin for a web interface for changing real names.

To edit user real names manually so they will appear with the Realnames extension, edit the wiki database directly using the following command:

mysql -u root -p wikidb

Enter the <MySQL password> when prompted. Edit entries for individuals on the wiki using

UPDATE user SET user_real_name='<realname>' WHERE user_name='<username>';

Note that user names always begin with a capital letter. Type exit to quit. After changing a real name, the server must be restarted:

sudo apache2ctl restart

Todo

Add instructions for changing real names in Django.
