 Element reference

Service API elements from <alias> to <workflow>

<author>

Summary

The author of a comment, draft, edit or event which might or might not be a PageSeeder member.

There are two possible models for the author element:

  • If the author is a PageSeeder member, the model inherits from the basic representation of a member.
  • If the author is not a PageSeeder member, the email address and/or full name of the person is included.

Usage context

Permitted content<fullname>
Permitted parent<comment> <draft> <edit> <event>

Attributes

This element inherits the following attributes from the <member> element.

NameTypeRequiredDescription

emailemailnoThe email address of the member
externalidxs:stringnoAn external identifier for the member
firstnamexs:stringif memberThe first name of the member
idxs:longif memberThe ID of the member in PageSeeder

onvacationbooleannoIf the member email option is set to ‘on vacation’
statusenumif memberThe current status of the member
surnamexs:stringif memberThe surname of the member
usernamexs:stringif memberThe username of the member
The attributes are only inherited from the member if the author is a member. When parsing <author> elements, it can be safely assumed that if the @id attribute is present then the @firstname, @surname, @username and @status also are.
