How to get all of the information of an author?

Thursday 16 October 2008 2:31:02 am

Hi everyone,

I want to add a link to author of articles, when people click this link, it will take them to a new page to view this author's biography. And i know the link for this biography page may be like this:

<public_site_url>/Users/<group>/<firstname>-<lastname>

Then i found the following codes in the "ezauthor.tpl":

{foreach $attribute.content.author_list as $author}
{$author.name|wash( xhtml )}{delimiter}, {/delimiter}
{/foreach}

so the problem is how could i get the "group" of this author( maybe i should get the firstname and lastname of this author too )? In fact, i think i need to fetch all the information of this author. Do i have to modify the codes in kernel or anybody who have experience about this can help me?

Hi Andreas,

Thanx for your comments. But i don't think hard code for the "user group" is a good idea, because there's more than one "author groups" in my current version.

And i have checked the object "ezauthor", it seems that there's not a key "id" in the Attribute "author_list". As i got nothing on page via following codes:

{foreach $attribute.content.author_list as $author}
{$author.id | wash()}
{/foreach}
