display full user name instead of user id in document details

pmverma

Hi,

In document details, to display document Creator, we use "cm:creator" in form configuration for "cm:content".

At this point, I want to display the full username instead of its id.

Is this possible?

if(yes)
{
How it can be achieved?
} else
{
// thank you
}

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

this is possible, but not with any of the out-of-the-box control templates last I've checked. You can implement your own control template and associated client JS component, which would lookup the properties of a user based on the user name, and replace the user ID with the constructed full name once values have been loaded.

Thank you Axel for you quick reply.

I also was guessing to use custom template. Your reply to use control make me more clear.
I will try in this way.

Thanks.

Hi,
your custom person.ftl from control (view mode)may look like this:

<div class="form-field">

   <#if form.mode == "view" || field.disabled>
      <div class="viewmode-field">
         <span class="viewmode-label">${field.label?html}:</span>
         <span class="viewmode-value" id="${fieldHtmlId}-value"></span>
      </div>
      <#if field.value??>
