    Custom loop to figure out the posted by ______ easy one!

    I'm building a private messaging system.

    I want a button on each add that auto fills the "send to" field with the user that posted the ad..

    This field will be hidden (to make it look more PM style)

    Then they can send the message.

    So my custom widget I'm building needs a loop that figures out the user

    I've found this

    PHP Code:
                        <li><span><?php _e('Listed by:','appthemes');?></span>
                            <?php
                                
    // check to see if ad is legacy or not
                                
    if ( get_post_meta($post->ID'name'true) ) {
                                    if ( 
    get_the_author() != '' ) { ?>
                                        <a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_url(get_the_author_id()); ?>"><?php the_author_meta('display_name'); ?></a>
                                <?php
                                    
    } else {
                                        echo 
    get_post_meta($post->ID'name'true);
                                    } 
    ?>

                          <?php } else { ?>
                                        <a href="<?php echo get_author_posts_urlget_the_author_meta('ID') ); ?>"><?php the_author_meta('display_name'); ?></a>
                            <?php
                                
    }
                            
    ?>
                        </li>

                        <li><span><?php _e('Member Since:','appthemes');?></span> <?php echo date_i18nget_option('date_format'), strtotimeget_the_author_meta('user_registered') ) ); ?></li>
    Which looks like it does what I need..

    Is there a loop that does what I'm looking for already in classipress or wordpress?

    And have I found?

    Something like "Get_author_name;()"
