APA 6 -> Complete first name in Bibliography

PeresGil

Hello. I would like to get a small change in APA 6. I want the first name being complete in bibliography, or complete name being shown as it is in zotero database.
In place of:
Silva, J. (1998).
I want to get:
Silva, José (1998).
If you are a teacher, there makes absolutely no sense to hide from students the name of an author.
I presume it is not that hard to make this change in bibliography. There are many "Silva, José (1998)." styles but, as far as I can see, none follow the other APA 6 rules.
Thanks.

Inside the style, you will find a line <macro name="author"> at around line 67. Two lines below that there is a line <name name-as-sort-order="all" and="symbol" sort-separator=", " initialize-with=". " delimiter=", " delimiter-precedes-last="always"/>. Remove the initialize-with bit and the value that follows it. Then change the ID and style name, following the instructions here.

It is going nicely, thanks.
Even so, now in place of
Silva, J. (1998).
I get
Silva, José. (1998).
while I want to get
Silva, José (1998).
The point "." after the name, can probably be related with the sufix in next line, but how to delete it?

it's a suffix, but not where you think it is - way down, in the <bibliography> section of the style you'll see
<text macro="author" suffix="."/>
change that to
<text macro="author"/>

It is working great now. Thank you.
