Displaying "About the Author" form at the end of the article
Here’s what i want to do… At the end of an article, I want to have a small area about the article’s author. I have created an “AboutTheAuthor” section and form so the author can create their bio the same way they create an article.
Here is where I am stuck… getting the right author to show up with the right article.
Ideally, I would like to put a tag like this in the article’s form: <code><txp:output_form form=“aboutTheAuthor” title=”<txp:author/>” /></code>… But I just made up that ‘title’ bit… is it possible to do something like this???
Or this another way to do this?
THANKS!

Use chh_related_articles (or similar) to call the bio from section “AboutTheAuthor” and relation “Author”, with form “aboutTheAuthor” below the article tag.

rss_author_info works great, by the way. Super easy to use and edit.
