author [bio, page, form] solutions
Hello good people,
There has often been some discussion about how to best handle authors, and the display of their information, whether that be on separate pages or in an article footer (ALA style).
Rob Sable has of course made some good plugins for this, but I am curious to see if folks want to share some of their successes, either with or without plugins.
Please provide examples and don’t forget to wrap your code in the proper tags.
THx.

Re: author [bio, page, form] solutions
I use my bos_author plugin to link the author name in the article form to a specific section where articles titles are the same of author’s names – there you can write anything you need (bio, informations, photo…). See the author section of this site, named “autori”.
In the article form i use <code><txp:bos_author section=“autori” /></code> to have the name linking to the author’s page. Apart, I created a section “autori” with articles corrisponding to authors names.
It’s pretty simple and fits my need. You may also have a list of author articles in the bio page, using chh_related_articles plugin, but this is another story. :-)
