I created file node--my_content_type.tpl.php, where I'd like to print the username as string. I tried the following code, but unfortunately it doesn't work. How can I do it?
<?php
print $name;
?>

$node->name will get you the name of the author who submitted the node. It will return it as string, not as link to the user account.

Thanks for your answer. Yet, if I coded <?php print $name; ?>, on the page appears term to the author. Doesn't it matter? Commented Aug 14, 2013 at 7:44

1Yes I know that,since you want to display that as a literal string I gave you $node->name. If you want the name with link you can print $name itself.– RamCommented Aug 14, 2013 at 7:47

I've problem with it. In php code I've echo "<div class=\"custom-buy-button\"> <button onclick='buyPhoto(\"<?php print $node->name; ?>\")'>Buy</button> </div>"; and I have function in JS <script> function buyPhoto(user) { alert(user); } </script> Unfortunalety on the sreen appears <?php echo admin; ?> I don't know why in the alert is php tag.

Usernames are stored in the $user object.
global $user;
print_r($user);
If you mean the fields in a node, those would be in the node object ($node).
I highly recommend looking at the output of the above. Get familiar with both the user object and the node object and everything will make a lot more sense.

Firstly, I copied to my file node.tpl.php file. Now I want to write user who own a given content. Commented Aug 13, 2013 at 21:19

Could you give me some directions. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do. When I want to write output print $node. There are errors. Commented Aug 13, 2013 at 21:29

copy
node.tplpaste and rename asnode--your_content_type.tpl. The username of node author should be available as$name.– Jack-PLCommented Aug 13, 2013 at 23:00 -
I tried it. I want to have string so I've coded "<?php print $name; ?>", yet it doesn't work. Maybe, for that $name is a term. Commented Aug 14, 2013 at 7:11

I removed the part answering about the node field, since there is another question asking about that.– avpaderno ♦Commented Aug 14, 2013 at 16:05
$user = user_load($node->uid);
print $user->name;
This way you can get the name of author by loading the user.
