By using the Blameble Behaviour extension in the Yii Framework, I wanted to track the creator and updater. Here I am able to record their ids, and now I want to know how to get their names from that.
For this you have to add a a relation in the model
'creator' => array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'User', 'my_own_creator_column_name'),
'updater' => array(self::BELONGS_TO, 'User', 'my_own_updater_column_name'),
and then you can get the name/email of the user from $model->creator
and $model->updater
