Is there a way to display a list of authors for a specific channel? Also need to add link that displays all posts by the author, and the {count} of the authors posts.

Like this:

AUTHORS
John Doe (2)
James Doe (14)
Smith Doe (4)

Thanks!

Not with EE tags but you can use the query module to pull this info.
Listing of all entries by particualr author can be done by passing the author ID (through the link) and then filtering the weblog by author id parameter.

Seems like it can be accomplished using the “Top Authors” plugin. That orders by number of posts, I would like to order alphabetically. I will post if I figure that out..

{exp:top_authors weblog="channel_name"}
    {name} - {count}
{/exp:top_authors}

Very good. Please let us know if there’s anything else we can do for you.

Is there a way to reorder the top authors alphabetically?

nitecode,

open up the plugin file in a text editor and change line 65 from

$this->EE->db->order_by('count DESC, screen_name DESC');

to

$this->EE->db->order_by('screen_name ASC');

Let us know if that works

You freaking rock!

Very glad to hear John Henry was able to help. Please don’t hesitat to post again in case there’s anything else. Thanks 😊
