For testing you can use the feed from https://twodropletsblog.wordpress.com/ which uses dc:creator instead of author

@chrisdavenport sorry for being thick - where in the module should I put that snippet. Tried a few places but no joy in displaying the author and we dont have anywhere in core (that I can find) that does

Either modules/mod_feed/tmpl/default.php
Or copy that file to templates/[template]/html/mod_feed/default.php and put it there.

Yes I know the file - but where in the file - wherever I have tried
produced no output

Shouldn't make much difference where you put it. Try removing everything from the file and just have the snippet. Does that show anything?

Also, try this blog: http://blogs.ncvo.org.uk/feed

I replaced the entire module code with

defined('_JEXEC') or die;
foreach ($feed as $item)
{
echo $item->author->name;
}
echo "brian";
?>

and all that was output in the module was brian
`

Hmmm, okay, it looks like you can't foreach over the feed entries any more. That might be another bug.

Anyway, try this code in your override:

<?php
for ($i = 0; $i < $params->get('rssitems', 5); $i++)
{
    if (!$feed->offsetExists($i))
    {
        break;
    }

    echo $feed[$i]->author->name;
}
echo "brian";

You should get twodropletsblogbrian

No that doesnt work either - sorry not wasting my time on this any more - i
will leave it to others

I'm closing this for now as further work has revealed that the rabbit hole goes much deeper than I thought and this is not the correct way to fix the problem anyway. I'll submit another PR when I have a more complete solution. Thanks for trying to test. :-)
