MODX: How to retrieve name of user who created resource?

Question

I am using getResources to display blog entries. For each entry I want to display the name of the user who created the resource.

I can retrieve their ID using placeholder [[+createdby]] but I don't know how to get their name.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

There is a MODX Revolution output filter called userinfo that you can user on your placeholder like this:

[[+createdby:userinfo=`fullname`]]

Find out more about and other output filters here in the docs: MODX Input and Output Filters
