I have to convert the author names before the "op. cit." string in small caps, as with in the first citation. I'm using \cite as the citation command So far, I have tried to follow the same approach of this question but without success. I don't know exactly what to inject and whether I should change the verbose-trad1.cbx file

MWE

\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[
backend=biber,
style=verbose-trad1,
natbib=true,
sorting=nty,
giveninits=true,
citetracker,
isbn=false,
opcittracker=context,
labeldateparts
]{biblatex}


\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}


% To get small caps in author name and swap given and family 
\DeclareNameAlias{author}{given-family}
\DeclareNameFormat{given-family}{%
    \ifgiveninits
    {\usebibmacro{name:given-family}
        {\scshape\namepartfamily}
        {\namepartgiveni}
        {\namepartprefix}
        {\namepartsuffix}}
    {\usebibmacro{name:given-family}

Footnotes 3 and 5 are wrong. Footnotes 8 and 10 are the desired outcome:

  • What about the author name in footnotes 7 and 9 (i.e. with the title and not with "op. cit.")? Should that, too, be in small caps? At the moment the "and" between names is handled differently in footnotes 1 and 8/10. Should the "and" be in small caps or not? – moewe Jun 28 '23 at 16:07
  • Thank you for your help
    1. Every name should be in small caps. I included only those followed by op.cit. because I want them to be changed. If the solution includes changing every name, then it should be fine. So far, I'm interest in cases 1, 8, 10. I can change the MWE accordingly.
    2. I removed the handling of "and" in the MWE for simplification. In my citation style, there is no "and". Should the solution necessarily include "and", I will handle the conjunction differently.

If you want all names to have small caps family names the easiest solution is to redefine \mkbibnamefamily.

\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[
  backend=biber,
  natbib=true,
  style=verbose-trad1,
  giveninits=true,
  isbn=false,
]{biblatex}


\renewcommand*{\mkbibnamefamily}{\textsc}


\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}


\begin{document}
WHAT I GET: 
Lorem \autocite{sigfridsson}
dolor \autocite{knuth:ct:a}
ipsum \autocite{sigfridsson}
amet \autocite{knuth:ct:b}
ipsum \autocite{sigfridsson}


Dolor \autocite{pines}


\printbibliography
\end{document}

Footnotes with names in small caps.

If you want only the "primary name" (author or editor) associated with a work to be in all caps, it is slightly more tricky.

\documentclass[british]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}

\usepackage[
  backend=biber,
  natbib=true,
  style=verbose-trad1,
  giveninits=true,
  isbn=false,
]{biblatex}


\DeclareNameWrapperFormat{sortname}{%
  \renewcommand{\mkbibnamefamily}{\textsc}%
  #1}
\DeclareNameWrapperFormat{labelname}{%
  \renewcommand{\mkbibnamefamily}{\textsc}%
  #1}


\addbibresource{biblatex-examples.bib}


\begin{document}
WHAT I GET: 
Lorem \autocite{sigfridsson}
dolor \autocite{knuth:ct:a}
ipsum \autocite{sigfridsson}
amet \autocite{knuth:ct:b}
ipsum \autocite{sigfridsson}


Dolor \autocite{pines}


\printbibliography
\end{document}

Footnotes with names in small caps.

The difference between the solutions is visible in the pines entry (last footnote). The editor (I. Twersky) is not the primary name here and is therefore formatted differently by the two approaches.
