Topic on Extension talk:PageAuthors

Version 1.4+ introduces config options for showing the full name and for linking to the user pages (see documentation).

For more advanced behavior, use Extension:Arrays (or the {{#arraymap:}} parser function of Extension:PageForms) plus the {{REALNAME:}} parser function of Extension:MyVariables.

@Sophivorus Thanks for sharing this extension. Is there any way to configure it to show the "Real name" value of the User?

@InnerCitadel Hi! Not really but on appropedia.org what I do is use the {{#arraymap:}} parser function of Extension:PageForms (or you could use Extension:Arrays too) plus the {{REALNAME:}} parser function of Extension:MyVariables to show the real name when available. It may seem a bit complicated but the upside is that you have full control of what to do if the user doesn't have a real name, or if the user doesn't have a user page, etc. See https://www.appropedia.org/Template:databox/name?action=edit for the code of my current approach. Finally, I may end up adding the functionality you mention to this extension, but not today. I'll let you know if I do. Cheers!

As promised, I'm letting you know that I just added a configuration option to show the real names, and another to link to the user pages. Cheers!
