ola adigun	Wednesday 31 January 2007 3:07:56 pm is there an easy way to access current user id / name from within an article for example? I can do so within template using something like: {$user.contentobject.name}. How can I access this or something equivalent within an article? thanks.
Łukasz Serwatka	Thursday 01 February 2007 12:08:58 am You can get owner information like: {$node.object.owner.name} where "owner" is ezcontentobject. You can inspect it like: {$node.object.owner\|attribute(show,1)} Personal website -> http://serwatka.net Blog (about eZ Publish) -> http://serwatka.net/blog

What I need is a way to access that same information within the body of an article content. Thanks, Ola

You can get owner information like:

{$node.object.owner.name} where "owner" is ezcontentobject. You can inspect it like:

{$node.object.owner|attribute(show,1)}
