Joomla user real name as username

Question

I'm trying to edit joomla homepage. The homepage has a latest articles module by mod_articles_category. Everythings works fine but in article showing written by: Super User.

I want to show not real name but username. I'm trying:

<?php echo $item->author; ?>

But it's not working.

此添加项应为您提供作者的用户名。

echo JFactory::getUser($this->item->created_by)->username;
