Render author using a view mode specific template

We need an update hook to install the view mode on existing sites. An example can be found in thunder_update_8006

[chrfritsch]

There are no field_forename and field_surname fields in Thunder. Please use just the username

Why has this been closed? It's important.

This was an automatic close from github, when the base branch was merged, please reopen it against the 8.x-1.x branch.
As @chrfritsch already stated, we still need an update hook for this.

If we use a new viewmode for the user, shouldn't we then also render the full user?

[tjwelde]

The problem is, that in the default configuration, the User entity doesn't have any name associated. Only a picture and "Member for" would be displayed.

[tjwelde]

Another option would be to keep the user.displayName and implement a hook to modify it: https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/core!modules!user!user.api.php/function/hook_user_format_name_alter/8.2.x

[dbosen]

We need an update hook which imports the new configuration into the active configuration.
This should be done with 'config_update.config_update' service.
For examples on how to do this take a look here: https://github.com/BurdaMagazinOrg/thunder-distribution/blob/a84286911131c685173222378c79b7b59eb2e138/modules/thunder_media/thunder_media.install in function thunder_media_update_8102()
