[Bug 548021] Re: Option to not have a display name on Views

 

Hi Dirk,

Thanks, your comments are useful! For the cases you describe, where we
want to hide the user's real-life identity, I think the "hide real
names" option is the way to go. I've also talked to a teacher here in NZ
who assigned arbitrary firstnames and lastnames to her students (i.e.
"student one", "student two", etc) to make sure their names stayed
hidden.

I do indeed favor this approach of giving the user an "anonymous
identity". It maintains community-accountability in the site, while
keeping the user's real name hidden.

Cheers,
Aaron

Title:
  Option to not have a display name on Views

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Currently all views show a display name. It would be good to have an
  option to just have a view title without 'by display name'.
