mt:Authors not listing all in mt_author table

Vote 0 Votes

My mt_author table has 25 records in it but when I use mt:Authors, only users who have made a post or commented are listed. Many of the users in mt_authors are author_auth_type Facebook. I would like to list out ALL users from the mt_authors table but only 5 records are listed. Not quite sure how no one else has this problem... hope its just me :)

The code I'm using...


<mt:Authors any_type="1" need_entry="0">
<$mt:AuthorID$>
</mt:Authors>

  • There is a bug with the "any_type" attribute!

    Until the bug will be addressed, you could use something like this:

    <mt:Authors need_entry="0" roles="Author, Commenter, Contributor, Editor">

    Obviously, you could specify as many roles as you need.

  • Thanks for the info Mihai.

    I am using the Facebook Commenters plugin. Once a user connects, an entry is added to the mt_author table which is great. However, these users are not displayed in the mt:authors loop.

    I think the problem is that these Facebook users are not given a role by default like (newly created user)'s are. Is there a easy way to assign a role to every author in the mt_author table?

    Thanks again.

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
