We are trying to use K2 for the online version of a print publication, a quarterly magazine. There have been dozens of authors since the mag was started, and many of the articles have had more than one author (rarely any more than three). My questions:

1. Is there a way to list an author without having to set up a user account for the person? (I still want to be able to use the author list module so visitors to the page can search articles by author)

2. What do I do in the case of co-authored articles? Some of the article authors have written on their own and as second authors.

One more issue with using the "author alias" for users that does not exist on the system, is that the author name is automatically hyper linked to the main page of the site. I think that in this case the author name should not be linked to anywhere.

Hi,

Have you found solution for the author alias link issue? I tried to find a solution but could not find any. Do I need to hack k2 to unlink author alias??

thanks in anticipation!

regards.
