Hi,

Did you find a solution to this? I have the same wish (would like to display the username, not the name).

hi,

nothing yet.. :/

what does the var_dump of $comment print?

hallo krikor,

how can i check this?

thank you

in the comments loop (item.php)

use this snippet
This will give you all of the object's elements which you can use.

ok i run it.
and i have this

object(stdClass)#989 (12) { ["id"]=> string(2) "49" ["itemID"]=> string(2) "62" ["userID"]=> string(3) "764" ["userName"]=> string(14) "giorgos nasis2" ["commentDate"]=> string(19) "2014-09-26 07:32:09" ["commentText"]=> string(26) "τι username βγάζει" ["commentEmail"]=> string(21) "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." ["commentURL"]=> string(0) "" ["published"]=> string(1) "1" ["userImage"]=> string(63) "www.proteino.gr/images/comprofiler/764_5422ebb4be78f.jpg" ["userLink"]=> string(44) "www.proteino.gr/cbprofile/userprofile" ["reportUserLink"]=> string(69) "/psyxagwgia/vivlio/mythistorima/comments/reportSpammer/764?format=raw" }


something that i already new from the table $comments in phpmyadmin..

what next?

thank you

Now you know the userID which is in this example 764.
You can use Joomla!'s getUser function to display the user's data.
