function scald_author_get_id in Scald: Media Management made easy 6

Get an Author ID from Scald Core. This will first check if an author matching the $data passed as an argument exists, and return it if it does. If it doesn't, then it will try to create a new author from this data.

Parameters

$data: A keyed array with the following possible keys: 'name', the full name; no first/last/etc. distinction. (required) 'uid', A Drupal User ID. (optional) 'url', A URL by which to find out more about the Author. (optional) NOTE: If this element is omitted for an array which has 'uid' set, the path 'user/<uid>' is assumed and supplied. Set 'url' to an empty string to avoid this behavior.

Return value

The Author ID upon success. FALSE upon failure
