[SOLVED] - Please put JUserHelper::getUserName() back - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi.
i saw in svn juserhelper::getusername() removed.
before function did excists had created same function, had load file each time.
so question: can put function back?
it makes easier develop extensions , lot of extensions have profit function.

hope hear soon  ;)

ps. here code in case lost it

code: select all

   /**
    * returns username if userid exists
    *
    * @param string userid search on
    * @return int user name or null if not found
    */
   function getusername($uid)
   {
      // initialize variables
      $db = & jfactory::getdbo();

      $query = 'select username #__users id = ' . $db->quote( $uid );
      $db->setquery($query, 0, 1);
      return $db->loadresult();
   }

why want have back? use

$user = jfactory::getuser();
$user->get('username');

instead,
