Hi @Spaik,

To do this, you would need to use a custom theme and overwrite the article_details.tpl and article_summary.tpl template. This requires writing code. If you’re comfortable writing code, you can learn about theming in our theming guide.

In these template files, the author’s given and family name can be retrieved with the following code:

{$article->getData('givenName')} {$article->getData('familyName')}

@natewr, thank you for your answer!
I have added this in article_details.tpl, but nothing is changed )
The code:

{foreach from=$article->getAuthors() item=author}
						<li>
							<span class="name">
								{$author->getFullName()|escape}
								{$article->getData('familyName')}
							</span>

Try clearing your template cache from the Administration menu. Also, check to ensure the file you edited is the one which your theme is using (it may be overridden within the theme).

That’s my mistake! {$article->getData('givenName')} should be {$author->getData('givenName')}. Same for familyName.

@natewr,
I tried yesterday this ). In both cases php returns “Array”.
Maybe another parameter is needed?

Ah, I forgot that this is localized so it can be in multiple languages if the site supports multiple languages. Use this instead:

{$author->getLocalizedData('givenName')}

You can learn more about our DataObject classes in our developer documentation.
