Oh jeez, I wasn’t even in Advanced Mode. Totally missed that – my mistake. So yeah, the Author field was not filled in.

What’s a little strange, though: I do have an author name on the blog posts, “pbm”. And that wasn’t being used in the author name in the itunes listing. But anyway, I’m sure filling in this author field in the powerpress settings will fix the issue. Thank you!

Sorry about misleading you with a fake podcast name.

Resolving.

Thanks. I shall ask no more questions then! I was just wanted to learn more about the available options/tools.

Thanks Robert.

And if I have data that is originally from ArcGIS, then I should just convert it to xlsx/xls/csv/ods matching the fields in your template, then import?

Sorry about the delay in responding. The holidays got away from me. I just added the function you posted above, and it worked perfectly! I didn’t have to touch it.

Serendipitous that you were working on this at the exact same time as I (and that you know what you’re doing)!

I don’t do any dependency management (I’ll be off of this project soon, and those after me will have minimal tech expertise. Not that I’m a super expert, as you’ll see in a sec…).

Could you explain, “as simple as adding a filter on coauthors_wp_list_authors_array and filtering that array into the order that you want it.” apply_filters() and add_filter() are kinda new to me.

Would I add a function that’s something like:

function coauthor_sort( $authors ) {
some magic sorting;
}
add_filter('coauthors_wp_list_authors_array','coauthor_sort');

Wow, that looks remarkably simple. And I just checked the pull request, and it looks like they merged it!

But now we have to wait for them to release an update with your code, right?

Thanks for working on this!

Thanks for the reply, backbone. Yeah, sorting by value might be tough in my situation. We have many authors (it’s an academic journal that’s been around for 20 years), and the number is growing. I’ll consider this, though. I just wish it was a built in feature!

1) Regarding my question about sorting. These are the arguments:

$defaults = array(
		'optioncount'      => false,
		'show_fullname'    => false,
		'hide_empty'       => true,
		'feed'             => '',
		'feed_image'       => '',
		'feed_type'        => '',
		'echo'             => true,
		'style'            => 'list',
		'html'             => true,
		'number'           => 20, // A sane limit to start to avoid breaking all the things
	);

	$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
	$return = '';

	$term_args = array(
			'orderby'      => 'name',
			'hide_empty'   => 0,
			'number'       => (int)$args['number'],
		);

I’m not sure why there’s an orderby in the $term_args but not in the $defaults. I’ve been trying to insert ‘order’ => ‘ASC’ into either of those arguments. But that’s not cutting it. Right now the list of names are sorted by when they were created. I would love to customize the order! Any help is appreciated.

Using coauthors_wp_list_authors();, I don’t see “order” in the the list of args. Any idea of how to sort them?

levani01 – in case you haven’t resolved this: you’ll want to add parameters to your query_posts

such as query_posts(‘p=5’);

and thanks, xiaolai, I think this is what I’ve been looking for.
