application<\/a> used to follow the Twinoid community on Ludum Dare (games, devblogs, etc.)<\/p>\n I’m currently adding features, and I’d like to give some love to “non-author” JAM participants. I’m working on allowing users to link to their LD account (and confirm by adding a word to their description for a few seconds) so that the application can start following future blog posts and games.
\n This last thing (future games) needs the user id to be effective. But I can’t get it automatically at the moment if the user did not post any game yet =\/ <\/p>\n
I can confirm it being a particular user’s id (with \/compo\/?author=666), I can manually find it with media\/blog post search in the dashboard, etc.<\/p>\n
But I did not find any way of actually getting a user id from the author name automatically (or let the user find it to give it to me).
\n Do you guys know any way to do that?<\/p>\n
Thanks!<\/p>","time":"May 4th, 2014 12:05 pm","title":"Get userid from author name?"}
