[Plugin: Co-Authors Plus] Formatting output of author list

  • Hi everyone. I am a PHP novice (generous designation) trying to figure out how to harness the power of Co-Authors Plus

    Would somebody be able to assist me in getting the plugin to output authors to look like this —

    Author 1 name
    Author 1 email
    Author 1 AIM

    Author 2 name
    Author 2 email
    Author 2 AIM

    I am scratching my head tying to understand what some of the release/usage notes mean. I don’t quite have the expertise to figure out how to get beyond displaying “Author 1 and Author 2”

    Thanks!

    I gave it the old college try and successfully experimented with the iterator

    My implementation may not be the most elegant, but it works: 

    <?php $i = new CoAuthorsIterator();

$i->iterate();

echo "<strong>";
the_author();
echo "</strong>";
echo "<br>";
the_author_email();
echo "<br>";
the_author_meta('aim');
echo "<br>";
echo "<br>";
while($i->iterate()){
    print $i->is_last() ? ' ' : ', ';
   	echo "<strong>";
        the_author();
        echo "</strong>";
	echo "<br>";
	the_author_email();
	echo "<br>";
	the_author_meta('aim');
}
 ?>

    I’m still wrestling with the syntax/formatting the author email addresses into hyperlinks. There probably is an easy way to do this…
