    how do i output the creatorName in a page template?

    Templates and document types

    I'm having issues outputting the name of the author that created a blogpost, for some reason it doesn't output anything?

    In xslt it's displayed elsewhere like this:

    <xsl:value-of select="$post/@creatorName"/>

    but in the page template i don't have this variable available?

    This piece of code always returns a blank output:

    <umbraco:Item field="creatorName" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>

     

    This is the information that's in the database for the node that i'm testing with (created with livewriter)



    <node id="1630" 
    version="114535b8-a638-4bd0-8a00-cc72528910a9" 
    parentID="1622" 
    level="7" 
    writerID="0" 
    creatorID="6" 
    nodeType="1219" 
    template="1216" 
    sortOrder="2" 
    createDate="2009-11-27T12:49:16" 
    updateDate="2009-11-27T13:49:14" 
    nodeName="Update - Lijst milieubijdragen 01/02/2009" 
    urlName="update---lijst-milieubijdragen-01022009" 
    writerName="Administrator" 
    creatorName="Chris" 
    nodeTypeAlias="BlogPost"

    Use the @writerName to output the publisher of the document.

    Rik,

    use

    <%= umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.node.GetCurrent().CreatorName %>

    to get the creator's name from the node

     

    Cheers,

    /Dirk

    Dirk: Thanks i got it, the there was an error with capitalisation of the "nodes" part in your case , this fixed it:

     

     

    <%= umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent().CreatorName %>

    Hello,

    i'am sorry for posting this under solved problems...

    Why doesn't it work for @nodeName?

    <%= umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent().nodeName %>

    I get: CS0117: 'umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node' does not contain a definition for 'nodeName'

     

    Thx,

    Andraž

    Because nodeName is not defined as property on a node object, use .Text to get the name of the node as it appears in the conten tree.

    I did that, so i have now:

    <%= umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.Node.GetCurrent().Text %>

    but i'am still getting the same error.
