    So I thought I had the full answer but it seems not. Here is my updated code for other newbies:

     

    <#assign author= env.context.message.author />

<h1>${author.login}</h1>

     

    That will print out JUST the author.

     

    <#assign author= env.context.message.author />

<h1>${author.id}</h1>

      Just the ID

     

    Hope this post helps someone else out oneday....

Thanks so much! This is very useful, and not super obvious in the documentation, likely because the object is called "env" instead of "post" or "message" or something. It is also mentioned in this post: http://community.lithium.com/t5/Developers-discussion/Accessing-Author-information-for-custom-component/m-p/136652#M5299.

 

Please excuse the multiple code updates on the referenced post. The final code should work for a custom author component, though--really.
