It's basically a page that just shows the posts by the Author, in much the same way that I can list posts by Category or Tags.
Also (while I've got your attention!) i can see that i create Authors and, obviosuly, create posts is there a way (other than typing the Author name in the posts) to associate authors to posts?
Depending on how you want to render this page, you might have to create a custom route for it, similar to how the tags/categories/etc... is displayed (since they aren't real umbraco pages).
I suppose the route could be like /authors/{author}
Otherwise, not sure how familiar you are with routing and virtual nodes? The source for articulate routes isn't tremendously helpful for that because it's quite complex due to supporting multi-tenancy (if you need that too then the routing will also be more complicated)
I think your other author questions might be covered here:
Show all posts by authors
Hi all,
Firstly top package love it. Quick question I was wondering if there's a way to show all posts by a particular author?
Thanks,
Craig
Sure, all posts just have a string property of the author name so you just filter by that value. Where are you looking to show this list?
Thanks Shannon.

There's a feature request for this already: https://github.com/Shazwazza/Articulate/issues/10 It would be pretty straight forward from an articulate core perspective.

ok brilliant, I shall read up on those. I'm not great with the whole MVC structure (coming from Web Forms and learning as I go along!)
Hi, Craig.
Old topic, but I was hoping you could share your solution to getting a custom page route in Articulate.
is working on a reply...
