Re: Displaying username and realname in the HTML pages

Hello Andreas,

I've had a quick dig through the roundup code and I think I may have 
found some answers for you.

Assuming that the 'realname' field stores the name as "Lastname, 
Firstname" then you may be able to use the 'sort_on' menu parameter. So 
you probably want to use something like:

   <td tal:content="structure
      python:context.assignedto.menu(
        additional=['realname',],
        sort_on=('+', 'realname')
      )"
   >assignedto menu</td>

The docstring for the menu method probably has the best documentation:
 
https://github.com/jerrykan/roundup/blob/master/roundup/cgi/templating.py#L1929

(apologies for linking to an old clone on github, but the sourceforge 
code viewer is really slow for me at the moment).

For this you are going to need to fill out the '<td>' a bit . You are 
probably after something like:

   <td tal:condition="request/show/assignedto">
     <tal:x content="python:i.assignedto.plain() or default" />
     ( <tal:x content="python:i.realname.plain() or default" /> )
   </td>

Not sure about this. I have found the roundup documentation a bit 
limited in some areas (something I would like to help improve one day) 
so I tend to learn how things work by digging through the code (which I 
fully understand not all people are willing/able to do).

I hope the examples help though.

SeeYa,
John.
