Would be better to send mail on mailing list and not directly to me :) Anyway in $xwiki you have all theses methods :
getUserName(user) getUserName(user, link) getUserName(user, format) getUserName(user, format, link) it seam that in getUserName(user) "link" is true by default so it return you the name with a correct link to access it, if you don't want the link I suppose $xwiki.getUserName($context.getUser(), false) is correct. When you search for api methods the better way is to print the class and then go to javadoc to see the methods in the class. For example for $context you can do $context.class that print you the exact JAVA class and then you go to http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/DevGuide/API/xwiki%2Dcore%2D1.1.1%2Djavadoc.zip/index.html and click on Context class link to see all methods $context contains. 2007/11/7, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Sorry for disturbing you again, Thomas.
