I think you'll have to write a little Java code and define a new model object to do what you want. A new model object that calls the right WeblogManager.getEntries() method to return entries by author -- I don't think there's currently any way to specify a list of authors though.
The 'Roller and blogs as a web dev platform' presentation here has a slide or two about creating you own model object: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ROLLER/Developers+Resources There is an example page model plugin here, with build script and instructions: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/roller/trunk/docs/examples/plugins/pluginmodel/ - Dave On 5/24/07, Hertling, William E (eSupport - BEST) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello - I've reviewed the documentation and archives for this mailing list, and didn't find what I was looking for. I'm starting a large multi-author blog at HP. We're still on Roller 3.0. I've done some basic customizations of the templates. I'm trying now to design a main page that would be suitable for a multi-author blog. Two key abilities that I would like to build are the ability to dynamically display a link of the authors of the blog, and to be able to see blog posts by a selected author. However, looking at the documentation, I don't see anything in the model objects, data objects, or macros that would allow me to do this. Essentially, I'd like a weblog.GetAuthorList() method on the weblog object, and a version of getWeblogEntries() or #showWeblogEntriesPager($pager) that takes an Author list as an attribute. Is there any way to accomplish this using what I have available in the Roller 3.0? Thanks, Will Hertling
