List of Favourites View

.
This is another one of those situations where some input from the developers would help.
They could probably tell us the right answer in about 5 minutes.

I have spent a couple hours on this and cannot figure-out a good way, or the right way to get the author variable in the Favorites View.
Turns out created_by is only the user ID number.
There is a created_by_alias, but it is empty.

In the back-end tables there is an $author variable.
But that is not available in the front-end in the favorites view.
It is created by a getAuthor function.
I could copy that function, but it would create a query for every line in the favorites.
Some how that just does not seem to be the right way.

There is a getAuthors function which is used in the front-end, but I cannot see how to use that one.

Tired of fighting with something for hours which could be solved in a few minutes.

Hi! Many thanks for your prompt reply! It works!

May I ask you two more?

1. How can I have a link to my flexi favorites from my profile page (CB for example)?

2. How can I get details on readers?

Currently, for each flexi item you have "number of views". It would be great to be able to click there (or anywhere else) and get a list/table showing who read this item and when.

Similarly, on my profile page - have a link "Readers" that would open a table with: who (reader)- what (item title) - when.

Many thanks in advance for any hints.
