Authors plugin for Carew
This plugin enables you to use Carew with multiple authors. In every article, you can set the author in the article's metadata. When you execute Carew's build command, special author index documents will be generated for every author.
Install it with composer:
composer require seiffert/carew-authors:dev-master
Then configure in config.yml
engine:
extensions:
- Carew\Plugin\Authors\AuthorsExtension
authors:
ego:
name: Paul
email: [email protected]
ego2:
name: Paul
email: [email protected]
Create a template authors.html.twig
in your layouts
directory with the following content:
{% extends 'vendor/seiffert/carew-authors/Carew/Plugin/Authors/layouts/authors.html.twig' %}
In this template, you can customize the rendering of the author's index document.
In your posts: specify the post's author like this:
---
layout: post
title: This is pure awesomeness!
author: seiffert
---
Now, when you build your blog using Carew's build command, a index file authors/seiffert.html
will
be generated listing all posts of that author.
Also, the post Documents that have an author in their metadata, will be extended with an Author
object
that holds all information configured in the config.yml
as described above (in the example this are the
keys name
and email
.
When rendering a post in a template, you can access this information like this:
<a href="/authors/{{ document.metadatas.author.handle }}.html">
{{ document.metadatas.author.name }}
</a>
