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.

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.

the branch edit fixes this but it could still be changed to use preferredname for overwriting r.name instead of changing to r.preferedname.
Should I just do that?
