Hi,
We would like to use a different field for displaying the more form this author at the bottom box (related articles and more form this author).
The reason is that all of our articles are published by our redaction and not by indidivual authors. So displaying the standard wordpress user (which is the case now wihtin the newspaper theme as an author) doesn’t work since it would display all the articles of the redaction instead of the specific author.
We have set up a custom field (by toolset plugin) for each author, which uses a tag.
Is there a way to display the more form this author box, showing the tag (=Author) for this post?
Hi,
You can set the realted articles to be filtered by a tag from the them pannel: http://screencast.com/t/9Y0s7BFfA8 but the more from author will simply grab more posts from the same author as the post. If this is the redaction, then the redaction will be used in this field. I;m not sure how you set up authors on your site, but our theme uses the default wordpress user roles. any other user role is not tested. Your plugin (toolset) is also not tested so I cannot say for sure how it should work. If youhave a user named redaction and this is the user that posts the content, then that is the author. if you want to have different authors, yopu need to create users for them and each one should post from his own user id.
Thank you!
Hi Bogdan,
Thanks for your reply. This is already clear to us, so not the answer to my question.
We don’t want to use the author field from wordpress but would like to use a custom field for this
So the question is: is there a way to rewrite code for this ‘more form this author’ block in such a way that it would get article from the author based on the custom field ‘Author’ (which is a tag).
hope you can help with this question
Hi,
Unfortunately we have not tested any custom fileds with our related artilces element so this will have to be made custom .We have no solution to provide for this. You fcan find the code for the element here: http://screencast.com/t/xlh7T8nos8E – http://screencast.com/t/MuckftZ69 – http://screencast.com/t/LRlmRXAxQf24
Thank you!
