How to modify articles.
  • bet0xbet0x
    I want modify the "Published by USERNAME" to "Published by REAL NAME" where i need to check that, for example i got 

    						<?php
    							printf( t('Published by %1$s, %2$s'),
    									$this->_helper('user')->link( $article['author'] ),
    									$this->_date->format( $article['date'] )
    								   );
    						?>


    This code is part of headline.html at views on article module.

    Not all users have the 'First Name' and 'Surname' fields filled in, however you'd do something like this:
    <?php
    	$user = $this->_ugmanager->getUser( $article['author'] );
    	if ( $user['first_name'] ) {
    		$name = rtrim( $user['first_name'].' '.$user['surname'] );
    	} else {
    		$name = $this->_helper('user')->link( $article['author'] )
    	}
    ?>


    then replace the '$this->_helper' line in the existing code with '$name'. Of course, this doesn't check if the actual user exists, though.

    You've also given me an idea, which I shall try to implement for 2.6.0 :) How to display users names.
