How do I display the author on a published page?
You need a snippet "Author TimeStamp" or similar, please search in Extras section.
This one works for me:
<?php
/* Author_name_photo
*/
$output ="";
$tbl = $modx->dbConfig['table_prefix'];
$authorID = isset($authorid) ? $authorid : $modx->documentObject['createdby'];
if($authorID != ""){
$sql = "SELECT fullname,photo,email
FROM ".$tbl."user_attributes
WHERE ".$tbl."user_attributes.internalKey = ".$authorID;
$rs = $this->dbQuery($sql);
$limit = $this->recordCount($rs);
if($limit > 0 && $limit < 2) {
$user = $this->fetchRow($rs);
$modx->setPlaceholder('author_fullname', $user['fullname']); // [+author_fullname+]
$modx->setPlaceholder('author_email', $user['email']); // [+author_email+]
if($user['photo'] != ""){
$modx->setPlaceholder('author_photo', '<img class="publisererFoto" src="'.$user['photo'].'" alt="'.$user['fullname'].'" width="45" height="45" />'); // [+author_photo+]
}else{
$modx->setPlaceholder('author_photo', 'no photo available');
}
// print out the info or use it in a chunk after the snippet is called
$output .="[+author_photo+]";
$output .="<div class=\"publisererNavn\">Av:<br /><a href=\"mailto:[+author_email+]\">[+author_fullname+]</a></div>";
}
}
return $output;
?>
I think, thererfor I am! But what I am, and why...?
Or, for MODx Revolution:
$user = $modx->resource->getOne('CreatedBy');
return $user->get('username');
For the author’s full name:
$user = $modx->resource->getOne('CreatedBy');
$profile = $user->getOne('Profile');
return $profile->get('fullname');
In Revo, you can also do it this way:
[[*createdby:userinfo=`username`]]
Note the capital letters in some (but not all) of the arguments.
Hey, thats great. I’ll look into that BobRay.

thanks for all the advice. they seem to work except with NewsPublisher. maybe i’ll have to try revolution on my test site and see if that works.
