Display authors in posts and front page about flex HOT 13 CLOSED

I think there's no code for this.

We could add a setting SHOW_POST_AUTHOR and show somewhere near post date.

That would be most welcome, thanks Alex

@geotheory I don't have time to do this soon. If you could send a PR I appreciate.

PR #168 opened

from flex.

PR #168 closed. Breaks translation support and I don't use it so I'm not interested in continuing.

This theme was meant for a single author, if anyone wants multi authors they can send a patch later.

from flex.

Is this still under consideration?

from flex.

I mean even for single authors, how can you display the author name in the post?

from flex.

To add the authors it would be simple as

By {{ article.authors|join(', ')|escape }}

However this cannot be translated, and I guess one needs to use Jinja. However my lack of experience doesn't allow me to understand why this fails

{{ _(By %(authors), authors=article.authors|join(', ')|escape) }}

I actually couldn't find a way of using _() without erros.

from flex.

It should be {{ _("By %(authors)", authors=article.authors|join(', ')|escape) }}, but this fails in many ways.

For multiples authors, it would produce: By XYZ, ABC, QWERT

In English the correct is: By XYZ and ABC if only two and By XYZ, ABC, and QWERT if more than two

For other languages it may follow another pattern.

This could be considered if done properly, but as the theme is meant for ONE single author, the name would be in the sidebar already, not needing anything else IMHO.

from flex.

Well, sometimes a solution is better than none. As far as I know "Authors: " would work in any language that has the meaning of "Authors". This should be written only if there is more than one author.

from flex.

ONE single author

Then you should put this clearly in the README, and do not allow to render the "Authors" page. Unless, of source, you are happy with that inconsistency. I think if you keep "Authors" page, then you cannot claim it is a purely ONE author theme.

@kakila as stated in the readme, this theme is not under development anymore. You are free to fix anything that is broken in a PR, as long as it is a proper fix.

If you want to work on this issue I can re-open it and assign it to you.
