Show articles by author with RSS_Unlimited_Categories
Hi guys, I am trying to make a bio page for my authors. No thing fancy, I just want it to show a list of articles they have written. I am using RSS Unlimited Categories, but I cannot seem to get this working (I am not even sure it has this feature).
Is there any other way that I could achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Show articles by author with RSS_Unlimited_Categories
If I understand correctly what you mean, then I think you can do it with the article_custom tag and the author attribute.

Perfect, thank you so much! I have no idea how I missed that…
Edit: How would I excluded a a category from the list?

<txp:article_custom category='<txp:category_list exclude="NAME(S) HERE" break="," />' OPTIONAL ATTRIBUTES HERE />Note the single quotes around the nested category_list tag.
BTW: For asking an additional question it’s always better using a new posting, only a happy coincidence made me re-open this topic and read the question you added one day later.

Oops, just noticed the rss_ part of the title, so use an rss_ prefixed tag instead.

Thanks for the reply!
I’ve tried:
<txp:article_custom category='<txp:category_list exclude="reviews-main" break="," />' author="spkuja" limit="10" form="author_layout" /><txp:rss_article_custom category='<txp:category_list exclude="reviews-main" break="," />' author="spkuja" limit="10" form="author_layout" />Both of which don’t output any thing. Am I being dim here?

Re: Show articles by author with RSS_Unlimited_Categories
The first one won’t work cause you’re not using standard TXP categories but rss_cats. Hence you’d need an rss_prefixed category_thing, list or so. I know the plugin not too well. What I meant was something like this here …
<txp:article_custom category=’<txp:rss_category_list exclude=“reviews-main” break=”,” />’ author=“spkuja” limit=“10” form=“author_layout” />
… if(!) that tag exists (Edit: No, there’s no exclude parameter for the list tag). (Note where I put the rss_.) If not, pick a tag that, in its functionality, comes closest, from the plugin help page, there’s an awful lot of them AFAIR.

I’ve just had time to re-install this plugin and browse through the tags on its help page but, alas, didn’t find such thing as an exclude parameter. I’m afraid you’ll need to ask for help in the plugin’s topic.
