Name Field
This module provides a flexible name field for capturing various parts of a person's name, such as title, given name, family name, and credentials. It offers customizable formatting options and integrations with other Drupal modules.
Name Field is a module that provides a multi-component name field for the Field API.
Features
- Select between one to five separate fields to capture a persons title, given (first), middle, family (surname), generational suffix and credentials (post-nominals).
- Name and name list formatters.
- Real / Display name: create an alternative screen name to the users login name. To enable this feature, simply add a name field to the user bundle and enable this feature when configuring the field.
- Select or Text field support for Titles and Generational suffixes.
- Optional autocomplete options for all text fields
- Easier styling with component CSS classes and optional RDFa and microdata markup in formatter output; the RDF UI module can help manage RDF mappings.
- Inline component markup formatting options. This can be found in the field formatting options.
- Formatter link options.
- Nickname / preferred field support in the format pattern tokens.
- Alternative field replacement support in the format pattern tokens, for use cases such as a maiden name.
Custom name format strings
These formatters can be as simple as E which will print either the family name, or the given name if the family name is empty.
They can be fairly complicated for specific requirements, such as t+ LG((f-,)+ (x-.)+ (y-.))+ (=\[Uc-\]). This prints the title, the family name with the first letter in uppercase, the initials of the first and middle names in uppercase, followed by the credentials in uppercase, wrapped in square brackets. This could print something like "Mr Doe, J. J. [B.SC., PH.D.]" for a person that has filled out all fields, to just "J." for a person that only filled out their first name.
