Does anyone know a way to change the author's name in CGBlog? without
1. Changing user
2. Changing tables in database

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:
