Summary: Use the original metadata author in the HTML author meta tag, the PDF cover and the document index
Issue Type: cid:jira-generated-image-avatar-cb96da1b-690a-4a5d-860c-e8fa0d9e7923 Improvement
Affects Versions: 17.10.0
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: Export - PDF, Index, Web - Templates & Resources
Created: 15/Oct/26 16:19
Priority: cid:jira-generated-image-static-major-c83798c2-f84e-4b6e-b804-87b19d16ecf6 Major
Reporter: Vincent Massol
Description:

Some templates display the effective metadata author as the author of the last change, while the page header, the history and the diff display the original metadata author:

  • meta.vm (the HTML author meta tag)
  • pdfcover.vm (the PDF export cover)
  • getdocuments.vm (the document index)

They should display the original metadata author, so that the same author is shown everywhere for the same change (e.g. after a comment or a tag was added).

Context: phase 0 of the System user proposal (design: https://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/SystemUser). It's independent from it and can be done first.
