Modify Buddy List Display Name

So I have a simple problem that seems to be eluding me.

I have configured openfire connecting to a LDAP server for authentication and such

What I want to do is append the phone number for a user stored in the LDAP server to the Display Name, so in my buddy list I would see

Jimmy Pells (555-555-5555)

I though the display name would go off the vCard Name so I configured the vCard Name appropriately and tested it out and it works, but I guess the display name in the buddy list does not go off of the vCard Name

anyone know what has to be done here? do i have to crack open the code and do some custom configurations? or is there any easy solution im skipping over

any help at all would truly be appreciated

thank you

Jimmy
