Which Collection Stores Blog Article Authors?

I want to create a collection that stores a bio for each blog author, and have it appear on all blog articles written by that author (rather than using Members Area and having people click over to a different page to read about the author).

Blog articles know who their authors are, but I’m not sure which collection stores that association. According to this page there’s not an author-id field for a blog article.

Articles list the authors even when Members Area isn’t installed, so I assume it’s in the users table. But I have no idea where.

Anyone else know?

How do I fetch the user-id of the author of a blog article in order to get a value from a separate collection that references that user-id?

THANKS!

There is only that one Blog collection that is accessible to use with the Wix Blog app through Wix Corvid.

Plus, if you want to run a query on it to find the id to match with your members id, then it does show you that in the code at the top of the page already.

As Heath says, it is a Wix app so you are limited to what you can do with it through Wix Corvid.

Also following up on this, looking forward to the Author field being added to the Blog/Posts Collection. That would really be critical for Custom Post pages.
