    Hello-

    love pagesetter been working with it for a bit learning.....

    I want to make a block where you can choose stories by authors? is that possible?

    I would like it ideally to be

    author1(5)
    author2(22)


    and so on where the (n) would be number of stories they contributed.

    Not possible without writing a whole new block.

    Well, there is a way to do it with a pagesetter block.

    This will tell you how to build an authorlist with a pubcount per author using a full pagesetter template in a block.

    First, create a new publication type. You could call it Authorlist or whatever you like. Then create an Authorlist-full.html template having this code:














    ( )







    ( )



    Then create a 'pagesetter/Display a pagesetter publication' block having Authorlist as publication type and full as the template.

    Don't forget to change the pubTypeId in the above template and in addition the list template name if it is not 'list'.
