    Edit Flow Project: Stage 1 beta release 

    Note: this is cross-posted from a post that I wrote on the CoPress blog.

    This past weekend, we released the beta version of Stage 1 (Custom Post Statuses) of the Edit Flow Project, a plugin aiming to improve the WordPress Admin Interface for a multi-user newsroom’s editorial workflow.

    The main goal of this stage was to “improve posts statuses by allowing custom statuses.” WordPress, by default, only allows for two statuses for posts during the editing process: “Draft” and “Pending Review”. These statuses are not very descriptive nor do they make it easy to track a story as it moves through a newsroom’s often complex, multi-level workflow.

    With the release of Stage 1 of Edit Flow, WordPress users can now assign custom statuses to posts, giving them more control over the state of their content.

      I need to display multiple author bios on one page. At this point, I am trying this code:

      …which gets me nothing. How can I do this in order to display the bios of two or more authors one after another?

      Hey, I tried pasting the code, but it didn’t appear. Trying again:

      Great plugin!

      I have a sugestion… also it’s what I need… ;)

      1.- Only admin can change the “default_author”.
      2.- A user can only delete himself (if he is not the default_author).

      Maybe in the options.

      ;)

    Co-Authors Plus v1.1.3 released 

    Today, I released the first public version of the Co-Authors Plus plug-in for WordPress, which allows multiple authors to be added to Posts and Pages. The plug-in is an extension of the Co-Authors plug-in created by Weston Ruter.

    The plug-in is a result of a this conversation, namely how to deal with users as your userbase grows, a genuine problem facing newspapers, magazines, and community sites using WordPress, and a problem I’ve been toying with for a while now while working on website for The Boar.

    Currently, WordPress allows only a single author per Post/Page. Weston’s plugin fixed that problem. However, the other design problem it failed to overcome was the usage of drop-downs to assign users to Posts/Pages. Once you scale up to 10+ users, this starts to become unmanageable (and when you start pushing 100+ it really becomes a problem).¬† Granted, the typical blog would not deal with this problem. Granted, the design is only a problem when you dealing with a large number of users, and therefore not something the average blog would worry about.

    So, what’s the main difference between Co-Authors and Co-Authors Plus?

    The most notable difference is the replacement of the standard WordPress authors drop-downs with search-as-you-type/auto-suggest/whatever-you-call-them input boxes. As a result, major bits of the JavaScript code was changed to be more jQuery-friendly. Eventually, I hope to include the ability to add new Users from within the Edit Post/Page screen, to fix another piece of broken workflow, and possibly Gravatar support.

      I haven’t tried Co-Authors Plus yet, but the improvements you describe are much needed. Thanks for doing this! Should I be able to switch to your plugin from the original Co-Authors without disrupting anything?

        Yep, you should be able to switch over without problems. Let me know how it goes.

      Nice work Mo. I can’t wait to install it and get it running. Should solve a lot of our issues with multiple authors.

      Is there a reason why I can’t remove the ‘admin’ author from posts (that I posted as admin but don’t want attributed to me)?

      • mo 8:42 pm on April 25, 2009 Permalink | Reply

        Hi Luke,

        You can click on the default author (‘admin’) and type in a new author to change it. If that doesn’t work, then it’s likely a bug. If so, email me some more details (browser, OS, etc.) and I’ll take a look.

        Thanks,
        Mo

      Hi !
      I use your Plugin, but sometimes it doesn’t work. I don’t get any authors.
      I also need an extension to your plugin (i would pay for this).
      I have a journalistic blog. So we have one who write the text and some others who shoot the fotos.
      Now i want display both. The Text author (the ‘normal’ author of the post) and the additional authors.
      I i search for an author, all (text and foto) authors have to be used.

      Is this possible ?

      regards
      ralf

      i am using the the_author() tag under the iterate loop.
      which returns me to the name of the author.

      is there a tag that i could use to get the author’s user id.

      I am using buddypress and want the coauthors to be linked to the buddy press member page and not the author post archive-

      here is what i have got for now –

      count() == 1 ? ‘Author: ‘ : ‘Authors: ‘;
      $i->iterate(); ?>
      <a href="http://intranet.nfshost.com/members/“>
      iterate()){
      print $i->is_last() ? ‘ and ‘ : ‘, ‘; ?>
      <a href="http://intranet.nfshost.com/members/“>
