I'm using get_class on an object like this:

{$forum.item|get_class}

where $forum is a loop variable. I also tried this:

{$forum.item.object|get_class}

And I get these results:

ezcontentobjecttreenode
ezcontentobject

How can I found out the real class of an object, for example, detect if some object is of class Folder or class Article?

I think the operator is working as expected but it is, for me, the wrong answer. The operator is returning the PHP class, not the Exponential class, which is the expected answer...

Can you file a bug enhancement? Its not quite a bug.

For the class you can get the class id from this:

{$forum.item.object.contentclass_id}

Its as it sounds:

{$forum.item.object.class_identifier}

To see what fields there are try:

{$forum.item.object|attribute(show)}
