I'm trying to figure out the right mix of fields and rewriting here in order to display the authors of a particular publication through views, but then also link to each author's "author" page.

However, there seems to be no way to rewrite author/authorID fields in a way that would let me do this.

Title: Using views to display authors and links to each respective author, without using the field Biblio: Citation » Issues with Views field handler for Authors
Version: 7.x-1.0-rc3 » 7.x-1.0-rc7

yes, i think a couple issues with the views field handler for Authors:

- does not use same link formatting as citation does; i.e. authors are not linked
- disabling label has no impact, "Authors" shows up all the time regardless of setting
- also, if you do enable label and set it to something; the field still uses Authors as an inline label

this was for 1.x-rc7, i'll check out -dev to see if fixed there.

ahh.. my bad.. my admin theme was hiding some of the field settings. i see there is a custom label setting for Authors which allows disabling inline label.

still no way to link user's as far as i can tell.. field render should likely be using the theme_biblio_author_link() function.
