Username for event creator please.

Hello Tuan,

For the “event creator” option, would it be possible to have either their first and last name (as it is now)or their username please?

I have thought about how to do this using custom fields but it is beyond my very limited abilities. To have it link directly to the user’s Community Builder profile would also be a great benefit.

Many thanks.

Exactly what feature you are looking for? If you want to display creator username, please go to Events Booking -> Configuration, look at Themes tab, set Show event creator config option to Yes and it should be displayed on event details page

Hello Tuan,

Yes, when the option of “Display Event Creator: is set to YES, it shows the first and last name of the person who submitted the event, not the username.

For example:
The user’s first name is Bob
The user’s last name is Smith
The user’s Username is Black Bird

Currently the Event Creator will show :Bob Smith”

Is it possible to have it show the username instead so that in this example it would be “Black Bird”?

Many thanks.

Hello Julian

We don't support this option at the moment. If you need it, you will have to customize the code. The file you need to customize is components/com_eventbooking/themes/default/common/event_properties.php

Sadly, we don't have username data in the query, so you will have to query database to get username of the user (base on his ID)
