if_author?
Is there anyway to display custom content depending on the author of the article?
We all want our own affiliate links on our own articles.

txp:if_article_author, but I think it won’t be there until 4.0.4.

That’s correct, but we’re hoping that 4.0.4 is imminent. :) Rob does have a plugin for 4.0.3, though.

It’s a useful tool on some cases, but not most. One have to list by hand the authors on his website, edit a page/form each time a new author is added, etc.

Re: if_author?
Yeah, it would be neat to have a profile field for each site author, as a plugin or something. Then something like <txp:author link="y" profile="y" />. For now, I’m content with the following in my <samp>author</samp> form (output in the article form):
<code>
<h3>About the author</h3>
<txp:if_article_author name=“superman”>
<p>Fan of blue spandex and hair gel</p>
</txp:if_article_author>
<txp:if_author name=“anotherlogin”>
…
</txp:if_author>
</code>
