Leif Arne Storset	Thursday 13 July 2006 5:23:15 am Paul, the problem is that the fetch function you suggest fetches an ezcontentobject object, not the ezuser object. It seems that a custom fetch function would be the way to go. Leif Arne Storset
Leif Arne Storset	Thursday 13 July 2006 7:57:30 am How silly I am. Every user class has an ezuser attribute. By default, it is named user_account. Thus, to get the ezuser object with ID 785, simply do this: {def $user=fetch( 'content', 'object', hash( 'object_id', 785 ) ).data_map.user_account.content} (It's pretty cool that the eZ template language can interpret dotted function output, something PHP - the underlying "programming" language - cannot!)
