How to display nickname instead of real name (txp:author)

K2member · 2009-02-28 12:11:02

Hi,
is it possible to display my username instead of my real name when using <txp:author>?
Or am I able to add a new tag which does this?

Thanks

Hi

insert this code into an article form :

<txp:php>
global $thisarticle;
$name0 = fetch('name','txp_users','name',$thisarticle['authorid']);
echo '<p>::: '.$name0.' :::</p>';
</txp:php>

NB: Change the echo string to match your need.

Cheers
