    We are working on a website with users that can log into the front-end of the site as members, as well as a few that can log into the backend of the site as super admins.

    The members are allowed to comment on entries in the site. As of now, comments are published using Authors’ real name. We use the screen_name field for this. We’d like to change this so that comments output Comment Author Username instead of the author’s screen name.

    What can we do to resolve this?

    Hi crisalide,

    There is a {username} variable available to the Comment Entries tag which I believe is what you will be looking for here.

    Does that help at all?

    Thanks,

    Mark
