Assign multiple authors to K2 items was created by Railer
HI K2,

Just wanted to see if the capability to assign multiple authors to articles has been added, or if it can be put on the "wishlist"? I have authors who collaborate on articles.

Please advise, and thanks for a great extension!

Best,
railer

Hi. Unfortunatelly K2 doesn't support multiple authors per item.

You can however use the author alias field to provide a generic name of the team etc.

Thanks for your reply, Lefteris,

Can you please provide a more detailed explanation of how you would use the authors alias field?
It's becoming quite common for one or more authors to collaborate on the writing of an article. I have ofter seen it on the Reuters.com site and elsewhere, where several people are credited for writing a story.

It would be a great feature for K2. Especially if the additional author's articles links display under the group article.

Thanks,
Railer

Yes, I also like to see this multiple authors feature to be incorporated into K2 very much. Using alias does not work since searching will not work if there is alias.

Thanks,

Hi,

Any progress or interest in making this multiple authors feature a reality? It would be so great to be able to see and view each author's profile via links in each content item.

Please seriously consider adding this.

Thanks,
Railer
