Comprehensive docs is nowhere to be found, no old docsite, new docsite, forums.
I tried to do "<nickname>|<first_name> <last_name>" but it seems to be wrong, intent is clear tho: to use nickname if its present, or full name if not. How?

I don't understand. Is the problem that you are unable to fetch the attributes from the user or do you have trouble writing the if-clause in the template? Or something else?

I think the right syntax is

<nickname|first_name>

I haven't had any luck using double values after the |, but haven't tried much either, though. Let me know if you get it working :)

I think the right syntax is
<nickname|first_name>

Yes, thats correct. But I would want to get nickname OR firstname+lastname. Some posts hint that pattern may have capabilities to do this, but not how. Can some of you wizards confirm its impossible, or tell, how? All help appreciated :)

Have you tried <nickname|first_name last_name> ?

Each separate entity of the name pattern should be enclosed within <>. So the correct syntax for what you want is:

<nickname|first_name> <last_name>

which yields nickname last_name if nickname exists. If not you will get first_name last_name

Ok, then i guess that what i want ("nickname" or "firstname lastanme" is currently not possible. Too bad :) Thanks for replies.
