Filtering for different "author" types when using Biblio:Drupal User as Views argument [#1349286]

G'Day all,

We are using a custom View to pull an author's works onto their personal profile page, which is rendered through Panels.

The View uses the Biblio:Drupal User as the argument to find trhe author's works. In general this works a treat (thanks Ron!!).

However, I just came across an issue with two different author "types": Book editor and Chapter author.

In the screenshot attached we see the listings on the Drupal user who is the Book editor (Fisher).

Fisher created the biblio entry for the Book he was editor of.
But on his page there is a further entry for a specific Book Chapter, which was authored by Rouwenhorst.
Rouwenhorst created the Book chapter node, listing Fisher as the editor.

The Biblio/View has found Fisher's UID in both the Book and Chapter nodes, and thus they both appear on his page...but this is not right (I think).

Is this a can of worms or is there a way to add another filter in our View to ensure we're just getting authorship where it's appropriate?

Thanks indeed,

It's a small can of worms, in that there is currently no relation between books and book chapters, thus there is really no way to detect that these entries are pointing to the same book.

This raises an interesting issue which probably needs to be addressed. We would have the same problem with journals <->journal articles and conference proceedings <-> conference papers

Arg!
