> This happens even when someone enters there exact user name. Is there a way to make the mouseover work in the manually entered author name?

The author info can accept HTML code (just checked), so it would be possible to enter (a href="tiki-user_information.php?view_user=usersname")User's Name(/a) in the Author Name box (with angle brackets rather than parentheses of course).

Problem 1: The database column for this field is pretty small-capacity, as long URLs get cut off. Use a relative URL as above rather than the full URL, and if it still gets cut off, you'll have to edit the database table column to make it a larger capacity type. I don't know off hand the name of the column.

Problem 2: In my test, the author name was made a link, but there was no mouseover information, just the address. If you need the full mouseover info box, this involves javascript around the link and this would be too much to enter manuallv.

If it's too inconvenient or not possible for authors to enter all the HTML code needed, the tiki-edit_article.tpl file could probably be modified to provide the user info popup itself, and then you'd have to be sure authors' names were registered usernames.
