==Customizing==
If you add a new profile field or already have a MOD in your forum that allows you to use a valid IRC nickname, you may easily modify the nickname line:

<nowiki><code>$nickname = is_valid_nickname($userdata['username']) ? $userdata['username'] : '';</code></nowiki>

To:

<nowiki><code>$nickname = is_valid_nickname($userdata['username']) ? $userdata['username'] : $userdata['irc_nickname'];</code></nowiki>

Where <var>'irc_nickname'</var> is the name of the profile field. You may also switch things around if you prefer IRC nickname over the forum username:

<nowiki><code>$nickname = is_valid_nickname($userdata['irc_nickname']) ? $userdata['irc_nickname'] : $userdata['username'];</code></nowiki>
