[xwiki-users] Display "List of Users" Type in User Directory

Dear all, I'd like to add to the user directory a field that shows the line manager of the user. The line manager himself is also a XWiki user so the presentation should be like first_name +" "+ last_name with a hypelink to the profile page. Now I have problems with the presentation of the line manager. My approach was: 1) Modify the class XWiki.XWikiUsers: 1.1) Add a field 'superior' of type 'List of Users' 1.2) Modify 'Custom Display' of field 'superior' as following: {{velocity}} {{html clean=false}} $value.get('first_name') $value.get('first_name') {{/velocity}}} 2) Modify the Selected Columns list for 'User Directory': first_name last_name superior With the code above in 1.2, in the User Directory Panel my column 'superior' is always <p>$value.get('first_name') $value.get('first_name')}</p> When I use in 1.2: {{velocity}} $value {{/velocity}} I get at least the following output (when superior is 'hkraut') <p>XWiki.hkraut</p> Please can somebody tell me, if already point 1.1 was the wrong approach? Or how can I adapt 1.2 to display the superior properly?
