Re: Listing Articles by the Same Author
Hi Dave,
Unfortunately we have just one blog. So that won't work.
How about doing a search against a username? I tried to use the Lucence
syntax to specify a field search but got no luck with that.

Hi Nelson,
A clever idea :). Unfortunately we are using categories so this won't work.
But you just inspired me: I can tag the article by the author username and
then customize the tag macros to hide all author name tags. I am sure this
will work :-).

Hi Daniel
Could you assign each author their own category? (Bob Smith, John Doe, etc). That would allow you to display all articles by the same author by selecting their category.
The biggest problem would then be if you also needed to view their articles by non-author categories, e.g., if an article written by Bob is assigned to the category "Bob" it cannot be assigned to a second category "Software".
But if each author typically writes on only one topic, then assigning each author their own category could work.

Thats OK, you should still be able to set that one blog to be site-wide and thus gain access to the $site model and its methods.
