Multiple authors

  • Dear Maeve,

    First of all, thank you for this great plugin! It worked right out of box on our site and without any issue. We like it this much that we wanted to make it available in French: we have translated the .po and would be happy to send it to you.

    HOWEVER, we work with more than one author per post and we cannot figure out how to include multiple authors in the template… We use “Co-Authors plus” for assigning multiple authors to posts but the plugin only prints the first author.

    Looking forward for any help!

    Hi,

    Almost there! I’ve used Miquel’s methodology and replaced the get_the_author tag by a get_coauthors tag in cite.php like this:

    function cite_shortcode() {
    global $wpcp_setting;

    // Getting admin preferred date format for current date
	if(!function_exists('displayTodaysDate')){
    function displayTodaysDate() {
        return date_i18n(get_option('date_format'));
	}
	}

    $find_string = array('{author}','{sitename}', '{title}', '{date}', '{publication_date}', '{permalink}');
    $replace_string = array(get_coauthors(), get_bloginfo('name'), get_the_title(), displayTodaysDate(), get_the_date(), '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_permalink() . '</a>');
    $edited_setting = str_replace($find_string, $replace_string, $wpcp_setting[setting]);
    return '<div class="wpcp">' . $edited_setting . '</div>';
}

    However, this returns an “Array” print for {authors} (while other tags are ok)…

    Did I forget something?

    I meant {author} tag in the previous post.

    Hi,

    We figured out that we only had to use coauthors() in cite.php like this:

    $find_string = array('{author}','{sitename}', '{title}', '{date}', '{publication_date}', '{permalink}');
    $replace_string = array(coauthors(), get_bloginfo('name'), get_the_title(), displayTodaysDate(), get_the_date(), '<a href="' . get_permalink() . '">' . get_permalink() . '</a>');
    $edited_setting = str_replace($find_string, $replace_string, $wpcp_setting[setting]);
    return '<div class="wpcp">' . $edited_setting . '</div>';

    And it worked! However, the names are printed twice now. If you’re facing the same issues, we’ve raised the issue here.
