Outputting xen:username without link

[Russ]

Is there a way of converting this:

<xen:username user="$conversation.last_message" />

Into something so when it outputs it will only show the username without the hyperlink to the profile?

I tried:

{$conversation.last_message} for kicks, but no go ;p

xen:username outputs always an link, but you could try

{$conversation.last_message.username}

or use an alternative method instead of helperUserNameHtml

{$conversation.last_message.username}

Beautiful, I tried {$conversation.username.last_message};p, thanks ragtek.
