Author override

is there any way to override the author – that is, if article is posted by me, can I give it another author’s name?

Re: Author override

How is this plugin different to “Change author” in articles tab?

Re: Author override

the plugin sends email to the author and informs them that the article has been transferred to them.

Re: Author override

Also, can I include the author in “recent_artilces” tag in any way?

Re: Author override

After installing the plugin, don’t forget to activate it in the plugin tab.

Use <txp:article_custom /> instead – you can do the same with it – and also use forms.

What comes to the plugin. The change user field is right top of the save-button in write-tab.

Ofcourse you need multiple authors to use it, as you can see by looking that image. And also it shows itself only when article is already published and viewed.

PS. Hmm, I do have multiple authors, but they are in different db table and have none rights :P “Comminity sites”.

Cheers!
