Question

I’m using Plone v4.1.2, and I’d like to know if there a way to include more than one author in the by line of a page? I have two authors listed in ownership, but only one author is listed in the byline.

I’d like the byline to look something like this:

by First Author and Second Author — last modified Jan 11, 2012 01:53 PM — History

UPDATE – Thanks everyone for your replies. I managed to bungle my way through this (I’ve never used tal before). I edited plone.belowcontenttitle.documentbyline as suggested by Giaccamo, and managed to learn a bit about tal along the way. Here is the code that does what I needed (this replaces the existing tal:creator construct):

    <span>
         by
       <span class="documentCreators"
           tal:condition="context/Creators"
           tal:repeat="creator context/Creators"
           i18n:translate="text_creators">
          <span tal:define="cond1 repeat/creator/start; cond2 repeat/creator/end"
              tal:condition="python: not cond1 and not cond2" >, </span>
          <span tal:define="cond1 repeat/creator/start; cond2 repeat/creator/end"
               tal:condition="python: not cond1 and cond2" > and </span>
          <tal:i18n i18n:translate="label_by_author">
          <a href="#"
             tal:attributes="href string:${context/@@plone_portal_state/navigation_root_url}/author/${creator}"
             tal:content="creator"
             tal:omit-tag="python:view.author() is None"
             i18n:name="author">Roland Barthes</a>
          </tal:i18n>
      </span>
    </span>

This puts the userid on the byline instead of the full name. I tried to get the full name, but after some time without success I decided I could live with userid.

In order to browse more than one author you’ll need a little bit of coding:

That piece of page is called viewlets.

That specific viewlet is called plone.belowcontenttitle.documentbyline.

You can use z3c.jbot to override the viewlet template. Take a look at this howto for usage. Another option is to customize the template through-the-web following this tutorial.
