Display author name with post amount from certain category?

  • Hi all,

    I am hoping someone might be able to help me with this, as I have searched but cannot seem to find the right codex to use.

    I want to display a list of author names with the number of post beside the name. This is easy enough but I want it to display only the post the author has made to a certain category(s).

    For example Joe Blow has 50 posts for category 1 and 30 for category 2. I would liek the list to only display category 2.

    -> Joe Blow (30)

    If this is possible I dont even know but if you someone could let me know it would be very much appreciated.

//displays users along with count of posts each user has belonging to category 3
$blogusers = get_users_of_blog();
if ($blogusers) {
  foreach ($blogusers as $bloguser) {
    $user = get_userdata($bloguser->user_id);
    $userposts = get_posts('cat=3&showposts=-1&author='.$bloguser->user_id);
    $count=count($userposts);
    echo '<p>User ID ' . $user->ID . ' ' . $user->user_firstname . ' ' . $user->user_lastname . ', posts in category 3: ' . $count . '</p>';
  }
}
?>
