attempt to add a meaningful user name to the from field of a calendar…

• Resolves: [Bug]: From Name is not setting properly in Calendar invitations created from Thunderbird #45081

Summary

When generating a calendar event invite email from an event generated within thu
nderbird or similar application, nextcloud generates a From line that does not i
dentify the person generating the invite. This patch makes a further attempt to
extract a real name and add it to the From line. I've been running this patch in
formally against most nextcloud versions from v25.0.4 onwards, and it has fixed
the issue, and not caused any observed problems.

Hi @jpmg-mb Thank you for the pull request!!

This should no longer be an issue... This should have been addressed by the following PR #45098 And should now be working...

The following line... actually pulls the user name form the system...

server/apps/dav/lib/CalDAV/Schedule/IMipPlugin.php

Lines 189 to 190 in 69f4a39

	} elseif ($this->userSession->getUser() !== null) {
	$senderName = trim($this->userSession->getUser()->getDisplayName());

I don't see an issue with it... Just waiting for an answer from someone to make sure they don't have any objections

I'm going to close this PR, as I've been able to verify that the existing fix mentioned above does indeed resolve the problem I wrote this to solve 8-)
