When users comment, I would like the name they input to only show on my posts. For example "Guest - Paul" I only want "Paul" to show..is this an accessible feature in backend?
Hi there,

Currently we cant achieve that on your backend. But maybe you can try to replace attached file at path below and see how it goes.
.../components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/comments/default.item.php

Hope this help

THank you so much - this worked. 2 questions...

1. I would like super users replys/comments shows as site name - is this also possible? These comments now shows as "Guest"
2. Can you show me the changes done so I can be sure to update in future releases of EasyBlog?

Hi there,

Currently we cant achieved that on backend. But if the user that already signed-up to your site, most likely super user, it will append his own name, maybe for suggestion, you just can renamed your super super at Backend>Components>EasyBlog>Authors as shown http://screencast.com/t/9s9LembpmK1 to your "site name" as stated above.

2. Can you show me the changes done so I can be sure to update in future releases of EasyBlog?

I have removed this codes "JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_GUEST').' - '." at line 51 a shown below.

<a href="javascript:void(0);" title="<?php echo $this->html('string.escape', $comment->author->getName());?>"><?php echo JText::_('COM_EASYBLOG_GUEST').' - '.$comment->name;?></a>


Please advice

Ah thanks. So previous comments I made as super user before I migrated are now showing as "Guest". I can't' edit the comment user name in backend...it says it saved my update the name but the old name still appears....this appears to be a permission issue. Any ideas on this?

Hi there,

You can try to edit/change that username on this table "#__user" and see how it goes. If problems till persist, let us know.

Or maybe you can provide us with your backend access and FTP access for further check on this issues and may i know from where/which components you migrate your users from?

Thanks, it is already changed there though. This is for previous comments made that are showing up "Guest". I can open the comments in backend and attempt to save a new name...but it always reverts to guest. I will play with it and see if I can fix first.
