Thread

Hello,

I have a question concerning the discussion forum module.

Currently, when viewing a thread, the author is displayed. The {author} variable is equal to {screen_name}. The problem is that instead of the screen name of the author, I would like to show either the username or the member_id of the author.

I found out that these variables (username and member_id) do not parse. Also, author_id only works for weblog entries, and not in the discussion forum module.

Is there any way to accomplish this?  Your help is appreciated!

Does anyone have an idea?

Hello? I’m interested too.

I’m trying to retrieve the member_id of the author of a post, but can’t manage to get it working or find a list of variables.
