posts from multiple users

  • after reading thru the forums this seems to be a common problem for us newbies. My site is a community where multiple people will blog. You could catagorize the people into different groups, staff, parents, admin, etc. Each user could be an author/contributor.
    I want their posts to appear on pages that I designate. ie. if a staff user posts it shows up on the STAFF blog page.
    Is this possible?

  • One way to do that would be to have them (or you) assign a category of Staff to the posts you want on the staff page. Then make a category page that only displays posts in the Staff category.

    A way to accomplish that is create a Page called Staff, and add a conditional query_posts line before the loop in page.php

    <?php if (is_page(‘staff’) {
    query_posts(………) (see below)
    }

    Here is info on query_posts

    If, like mine, your coding skills are nonexistent, you could accomplish this with plugins. I’m at work so I can’t get into my plugins folder to pull up the names, but there is at least one combination of plugins that could get the job done by hiding certain categories from the front page and then listing posts from a category on a separate page of your creation.

    If I have time tonight I’ll reply to this post with the plugin names.
