Assign Author to Article

I have poked around the forum and Google and have been unable to find a plugin or mod to enable me to assign an Author to an article. I can imagine a drop-down list populated with all of the author names with which an article could be assigned to any registered author. Does this exist to anyones knowledge? The other case I would love to support is the ability to assign multiple authors to one article. Ideas? Thank you all!

Under the ARTICLES tab there’s a drop down “with selected”
CHANGE AUTHOR

Sorry for the caps.

Re: Assign Author to Article

Any ideas about assigning multiple authors?

I’ve don’t think I’ve run across anything that will let you do that.
Not sure if this would fit your purpose – but you could assign a “main author” to the article – and then use custom fields to add additional authors.

You’d probably want the following:

• glz_custom_fields
• sed_pcf

And maybe:

• sed_section_fields

There used to be a plugin which did exactly that a couple of years back. You might find it in .org
