Show author of a content-object (ie. an article)

Try other attributes for that class. This code will
show all attributes of $content_version:

{$content_version|attribute(show,1)}

You may notice a attribute named 'data_map'. This holds
the attributes for your class 2, so:

{$content_version.data_map|attribute(show,1)}

will show your attributes and values. This is a very helpful
debugging method :)

A better way to display attributes is through:

{attribute_view_gui attribute=$content_version.data_map.name}

This will render your attribute using standard ez code for whatever datatype the attribute happens to be. Text is easy to display but files, images, etc?

Thanx Claus, your solution worked (of course).

My struggle with this was because I made the article I tested against a few weeks ago, and I had forgotten that I made this test-article to test what happened when I deleted the user that created the article !!!

(And the answer to that is that if you delete a user, then the content that the user created get the $content_version.creator set to NULL)

How did/do you change the creator of this object (article) using the admin interface?

Or should I adapt the interface of article-editing to do this kind of job?
Why I'm asking?
I noticed that when a person edit the article, {$content_object.creator.name|wash} shows the name of this person and not the first person who wrote it.

I've got no problem showing the article's author, but what if the article is altered by someone else at a later stage? The the articles gets a new creator it seems. Is there a way to keep the original creators name, and perhaps rather credit the latter author as "Altered by: OthersUsersName"
