Linked author in views or drupal_uid assigned to multiple authors

Putting this on the todo list... No ETA at this point, but there is a place holder.

I have been trying to show all publications for an author using cid, but am trying to add in all linked author publications as well. I don't want to merge authors either.
I was using the url:
http://www.cir.ed.ac.uk/drupal/Publications?s=year&o=desc&f[author]=2288

is there any way I can modify this url to include more than one cid? or can I refer to the "aka" in the url in any way?

I assume if you merge authors it would change the author name on the actual publication - is that right? I wonder when you should use this feature.
Many thanks

I needed fix for this problem, too. I've found a messy and temporary solution. I couldn't find a way to add a subquery to $viewsdata for the biblio_contributor_table - this would be the way to go I guess. So, I used hook_views_pre_execute.
WARNING: Still have some problems with token replacement in the subquery. So this is still insecure:

function biblio_views_pre_execute(&$view) {
  $view = &$view;
  views_include("query");
  if ($view->build_info['query_args'][0]) {
    $uid = &$view->build_info['query_args'][0];   
    $query = db_query('SELECT cid FROM {biblio_contributor_data} cd
                       WHERE cd.drupal_uid = %d', $uid);
    while ($result = db_fetch_array($query)) {
      $rows[] = $result;
    }
    
    $cid = isset($rows[0]['cid']) ? $rows[0]['cid'] : NULL;
    $query = $view->query;
    if($cid) {
      $params = array(
          'clauses' => array('biblio_contributor.cid IN (SELECT biblio_contributor_data.cid FROM {biblio_contributor_data} WHERE biblio_contributor_data.aka = ' . $cid . ' )'),
          'args' => array($cid),
          'type' => 'OR',
      );

      $query->where[] = $params;
      $query->group_operator = 'OR';

      $view->build_info['query'] = $query->query();
      $view->build_info['count_query'] = $query->query(TRUE);
    }
  }
}

Hi
I would appreciate to link 2 biblio authors to 1 Drupal User account, as well. Is it now possible?
Thanks
(I am using Biblio 7.x-1.0-rc7)

This version is no longer maintained. If this issue is still relevant to the Drupal 7 version, please re-open and provide details.

We started to use biblio recently, thank you for this great module.

We have authors who changed their names (after marriage) and now we have citations with the same person cited under different names. Biblio creates a new author for the changed name and I have linked (not merged) those authors together, to keep the citations correct. I now want to link the corresponding drupal users to the author(s), but even if the authors are linked the module only accepts linkage of one drupal user to one author. My problem: I want to show all publications of the drupal user under his user profile, but i only get a subset of the users publications shown here (either the pubs of author name before marriage or author name after marriage (since i cant link to both)). How can we deal with this problem?
