[xwiki-users] display author / creator as property

2009-12-11 Thread Helenc

Hi,

I'm very new to xwiki. Thanks so far to everyone that is contributing...

I have created a new class. And I would like to include author as a property
in the class, and have it automatically populate with the user's name. 

I tried looking at comment class but couldn't see how this get's done.

Could someone help me out?

Thanks. That's very helpful!!

Now I have an extra property in my class which I can't delete - how I  
can I hide it?
I've tried renaming it unused_author but it still appears?

Thanks

 You don't really need to do that since the document already stores the
 page's creator name and the name of the last person who modified it.

 You can access them through $doc.author and $doc.creator .

 Alternatively you can add an author field to your class and have it
 populated using the value returned by $context.user .

 Hope this helps,

 Guillaume
