Sean, just had a quick look.  If you leave the template the way it was
before, this patch works, because preferredname gets passed to the
display_name function and then gets output in $r.name.

But if you change the template to output preferredname, everyone who
doesn't have a preferredname set in the database shows up as having no
name at all.

Title:
  Real name used instead of display name for members of a group

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  In a Mahoodle installation (Mahara 1.3) I have the first and last name
  fields locked as they are updated from Moodle and entered a display
  name. That is generally used throughout Mahara.

  However, in a group, the real name is used in the "members" area on
  the homepage. In the group info box however, where I am admin, my
  display name is used.

  The display name should also be used in the Members block.
