How to change author's name in CGBlog

[master3395]

Does anyone know a way to change the author's name in CGBlog? without

1. Changing user
2. Changing tables in database

[Rolf]

Add a custom field to the module and use that one for the author name shown in the frontend

Or: If you want to change the author for all posts, look for this in the summary template (for example):

Code: Select all

{if $entry->author}
	<div class="CGBlogSummaryAuthor">
		{$author_label} {$entry->author}
	</div>
{/if}

and replace {$entry->author} with the new name.

If you want to change for just one person's posts you should be able to do an if-then-else with smarty to display a new name conditionally:
