Bug Description

Mahara:
version 2011061004
release 1.4.1

When displaying a user and the name of the institution they logged in from, the name of the institution is displayed rather than the displayname. Since the name cannot be changed and is limited to a single character, I cannot provide "friendly" display names, and cannot change the display once created.

Finding all instances of the use of name versus displayname may be difficult, but at least two I know of

lib/mahara.php lines 2228 and 2294
