Stucked with authors data and information
Hello,
I am quite a lot stucked with author management lately with my project in TextPattern. It is a multi-author blog site and I am stucked in handling multiple information of authors.
First I wrote this post about author management which i really didn’t get any clue and I am stucked in it even now.
Now, the new thing is that I want with every article of mine, a brief introduction about author with his picture at the end of the article; like we usually see on news sites. Plus atleast I want that If someone clicks on author anchor in the article as written by: author name, I should get his page telling about his bio and the articles he wrote. (Not all the articles listed down in full text)
You can see My Site
I really think that it should be easy and has been tried by many people.
I would be very thankful for any help.
Regards,
Faisal Khan

Re: Stucked with authors data and information
If every site’s author makes profile information page/article by themselves, you can use something like this. Requires asy_wondertag
- Make section authors
- Tell your writes write there info about themselves, and use the Image-field for a profileimage.
But inside the default, used article-form:
<txp:asy_wondertag>
<txp:article_custom author="<txp:author />" section="authors" limit="1" form="author-info" />
</txp:asy_wondertag>
Create article form named author-info. Put there something like this:
<div id="author-info">
Info about <txp:author />
<txp:article_image />
<txp:body />
</div>
Cheers!

Re: Stucked with authors data and information
So what I will do is that i will make a section just for authors and say my authors to write about them in that … this is clear to me but I actually didnt understand the usage of asy_wondertag …
also When I select the author’s name will I be redirected to his page which shows his bio, pictures and all the articles he wrote ?
I am sorry for this stupid question but I really didnt understand.
