Module Change "Name" field label for users to "Username"

[Soma]

Some time ago there was a question if it's possible to change the "name" field on the users to "Username".

Here's how I answered with a module example. May it be helpful to someone.

<?php

class UserNameLabel extends WireData implements Module{

public static function getModuleInfo() {
	return array(
		'title' => __('UserNameLabel', __FILE__), // Module Title
		'version' => 100,
		'summary' => __('Overwrite User Name Label', __FILE__), // Module Summary
		'autoload' => true
		);
}

public function init() {
	// only add hook if on user pages
	if(strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],'/users/') !== FALSE )
		$this->addHookAfter("Inputfield::render", $this, "changeLabel");
}

public function changeLabel($event){
	$inputfield = $event->object;
	// only if the right inputfield
	if(!$inputfield instanceof InputfieldName ) return;
	// overwrite the label
	return $event->object = $inputfield->label = __("Username");
}

}

Thank you Soma for this module.

This is quite some time ago. For 2.6.x versions of PW, is there a way to change the label without having to use a module?

I can't find this field anywhere, even with "$config->advanced = true;"

You can change the label for the name field in each template's settings individually.

In the user template (or clones of it) there is no field "name". I have set $config->advanced = true;

You won't find it in the field list - check under "Advanced", like every other template.

Thank you, found it in Advanced tab

Exactly what I was looking for. So no need for Soma's module anymore.

But still, I find it confusing that the name field is not editable from the Basics tab.

The name field is technically not a field, that's why it's not there.
