Nick name included in username/display name?

Hello

Is there any way that I could have the nickname displayed inside the username of people posting articles?

For example: 'John "Killer Smith'

I have tried but it doesn't seem to work. If there is a way of doing this, please let me know!!

what is the difference between User Login Name and Username?

Yes, but you need to this only once for every article. It is not necessary to change this on every single page.

Would this mean having to add a nickname in this field to every single article listed?

The easiest way is using the extra fields.

1) Articles => Manage Extra Fields and add a new text field named „Nick Name“
2) Edit the Template articles_pages in the articles section and add after Posted by: {$insert['article_author']} the following: ({$insert['article_extra1']})

The login name is a short name just for the login while username is the full name.
