The owner needs a way to edit user names on the profile page

[Christopher Adams]

User full_names are currently taken from address book information, or from user profile pages on Flickr and Twitter if this information is supplied.

It is common however for some of the full names to be incomplete, incorrect, or otherwise.

The owner should be able to edit the user full_name directly from the user's profile page.

The username is currently displayed at the top of the profile as Profile » full_name

* I need some proposals for how to make the full_name editable, as the same interface can be re-used elsewhere on the site. *

Rejon, Brad, Bassel, please give a proposal on implementation.

edit on place on click. and/or small edit button near it like the one used in launchpad that trigger edit in place for the name.. what do you think?

[rejon (rejon)]

I think we should have these AIKONS (aiki icons). Totally should by
default have an edit icon in aiki. Christopher, can you attach the
link to the icons and lets get this committed into aiki.

We should start using these on the admin panel and throughout default
install...its a great idea!

I like edit on click. The only problem is that it's difficult for the user
to tell what can be edited and what can't.

An explicit edit button is distracting. In most scenarios the owner will
edit the name once and never use the edit function again.

A third option is to have a piece of text that says Edit, which only appears
when you hover over a div that surrounds the name.

You can see an example of this on the new Twitter. Hover over a Tweet and
you see text for "Favorite Retweet Reply" appear.

when an item is editable in place it has a css class also there are css classes for all stages of edit in place process. so if we have an icon we can add it as background in css for the edit in place element..

I think we should cut off the number of default css shipped in default aiki installation and/or make this in themes options like have default theme and/or allow users to download default themes from "aiki app store"

[rejon (rejon)]

I agree, strip the shit down. For now, just have to get the solution
for PPL. would love to see aiki apps fleshed more aikiman

Ok, so I added functionality for this. If you navigate to a private profile, you'll be able to click on the profile name, edit the name, and save the change & it will update the record successfully.

If there's an icon that exists that anyone would like used on hover, I can add that I just need to know where it's located (or does one need to be created?). Currently, I've adjusted the cursor to display edit mode when hovering over the name (as an indication that it's editable).

I'm marking this as "in progress" with the option of being complete after a next step is figured out to polish it off.

[Christopher Adams (christopheradams)]

Clicking to edit reveals a textfield which breaks the layout of the rest of the page.

[Bassel Safadi (bassel)]

a simple solution would be to give css to that textfield and make it same size as the static text

[Brad Phillips (brad-bradphillips)]

I fixed this & resized the textarea a bit to fit a single line of text & am marking this as fixed. If any additional things need to happen here, feel free to re-open.
