I have Vcards published for each user, and shared roster memberships configured. I would like the client roster lists to show the user nickname instead of the complete JID. Is this possible?

Help with populating shared rosters with friendly nicknames
Submitted by Jim Schuuz on Tue, 2009-04-07 20:35
Working now, but need more help
I still need some help. I figured out how to use Nicknames when available, then the JID if not, by using the offered by Badlop. I made the changes required to the original ERL file, then recompiled it and loaded it to the server, and bingo it worked like a charm.

Any help is appreciated. TIA

Sorry to bump an old thread. If you're still around, could you explain how you applied the patch? Or perhaps provide the patched mod_shared_roster.beam file?
edit: Sorry, I got it working. I was getting a bunch of compile errors when I applied the patch the first time around. I scrapped that and applied the patch to the back-up original of the .erl file, and that one compiled no problem.
