Is the functionality in the Real Name module replaced by Name Field?

Name Field adds a robust field for entering a user's actual name.

Real Name configures the display of a user's username, with tokens.

Name Field has an option, "Use this field to override the user's login name?".

This causes many displays of the username to use the Name Field value.

But one area that didn't change is the user account page title.

Configuring Real Name with [user:field_name] for the token fixed it.

Tips

Recreate User Picture Field

User Picture is a property on the User entity.

It's created via the standard profile.

If you used minimal or a custom profile, you may not have this in your site.

To get it back, copy these files from core/profiles/standard/config/install to your site's config directory and import config.

  • core.entity_view_display.user.user.compact.yml
  • field.field.user.user.user_picture.yml
  • field.storage.user.user_picture.yml
