Author info in a view?

please note you will need CAS to get into this site.

if you look at http://aadhub.yale.edu/guidelines-and-procedures, i have a series of views and was asked if i could include the name of the author in addition to the date/time of publish.  i have the latter as content: publish date, but is there a way to pull in the author info from the content node itself?  another way to get the person’s name?  I tried the content:author id, but it just shows the #, not the name.

thanks!

Hi Eamonn,

You’ve locked the view so I don’t want to break the lock in case you are in the middle of editing, but I believe that you can achieve this by adding the Author relationship under the Advanced tab. Then try adding the author id field.

Let me know if this works.
