[Plugin: Co-Authors] firstname and lastnames

  • Is there a way to obtain a list of firstnames + lastnames of authors?
    I don’t know how to do that using the provided functions coauthors_firstnames and coauthors_lastnames. In other words, I need “John Smith and James Brown” rather than “John and James” or “Smith and Brown”. I’m thinking of a coauthors_firstnames_lastnames() function…
    Thanks

  • this is works – however if there’s a simpler way someone please let me know!

    • the co-author pluggin allows multiple authors
    • the CoAuthorsIterator() allows you to step through them
    • however you still use the native the_author_firstname() & the_author_lastname() functions
    $i = new CoAuthorsIterator();
print $i->count() == 1 ? 'Author: ' : 'Authors: ';
$i->iterate();
the_author_firstname();
echo " ";
the_author_lastname();
while($i->iterate()){
    print $i->is_last() ? ' and ' : ', ';
    the_author_firstname();
    echo " ";
    the_author_lastname();
}
