Is it posible to display in search results Author alias instead of Author itself. I menage the site with educational articles repository and all of the are added by administrator user, but there are a lot of authors and we use author alias feature, when displaing the authors of articles. The advnanced search is searching through those aliases but in search result displays "written by Administrator"

how to change it?

thanks a lot for the cmponent and in advance for help Smiley

I assume you mean when you are doing an author search as thats the only search i could do that display the author or author-alias

When i tested on my site it would search the alias field and display the alias. the only problemis that if you search by admin and you have an alias called admin you wlll get the first not the alias

If you disable the authorsearch plugin then no author details are displayed at all

Look in the mambot parameters. You can select Full name, username or content author alias.
