Re: Displaying username and realname in the HTML pages

Hello John, 

Many thanks for your feedback. It helps me a lot. I will need to look a little 
closer at the code to get more answers to possibilities to adapt the our 
tracker.

Your provided statements are working quite well, except that on one the 
"assignedto" is missing. I added the update statement which worked for me 
below.

Great, thanks again,
Andreas

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