In managing website content in AnQi CMS, we often encounter various data fields, whereuser_idField is a commonly existing and easy to raise doubts identification. When we get document details from AnQi CMS, thisuser_idWhat exactly represents the document publisher or author? To clearly understand this, we need to analyze the data structure returned by the document interface.
Firstly,/anqiapi-archive/142.htmlThe API returns parameters from the document, looking at the details of the document in it,datathe object indeed contains a field nameduser_idwith the type ofintThis indicates the “User ID”.This field appears in the core attribute list of the document, indicating that it is a system-level, directly associated user identifier.user_idThis will point to the registered user ID who published or last modified the document in the AnQi CMS backend.In other words, it represents the user identity that performs the publish operation, as recorded by the system.user_idIt is a key clue, you can use it to further call the user details interface (such as/api-user/3522.html), to obtain specific information such as the username and nickname of the user.

For example, a company may want all articles to display "EditorialOr, if the website allows submissions but the submitter is not a registered user, the author name displayed in the document details can also be flexibly handled through custom fields.extra.author.valueIf available, this provides author information that is more in line with the content presentation needs; if the custom author field is not set, or you prefer to display the publisher at the system level, then you can according touser_idGo and query and display the corresponding user's name.
