This patch fixes a bug in app/controllers/content_controller.rb where the user_id field of Articles is not set when a new article is created. I simply did a lookup of the 'id' using the following statement:

@article.user_id = ( User.find(:first, :conditions => login = ) ).id;

I first noticed this wasn't happening when the feature I also included didn't work correctly. It adds a "Number of Articles" comment to each User in the Admin/User page. Which requires the user_id be set in the articles table.

The following was added to /app/views/admin/users/_user.rhtml

<p>Number of Articles: <%= Article.count "user_id = #{user.id}"  %></p>
