Hi,
I'm trying to do something simple, that may in fact be more complicated.
I've set up a website to post journal articles. I'm using the "article" module to post articles, and I've added a field called "author" for the original author of the article. However, when I use epublish to list the articles, it lists the poster's username (me) rather than the author of the article.
See: http://www.indigenouslawjournal.org/epublish/1/4
Is there an easy way to re-jig epublish to list the true author's name?
Thanks,
Austin

This is by design only, that who is posting the article his name will be shown as author name. Either you give the separate user to author himself or have to manage by theming, code etc.

Is any news for this in Drupal 6x?

Could I do with some parametrization?

I would like to see E-publish become a more flexible solution for journals publishing content by authors who are not users of the website. I'm sure this would be a common situation for many online publications. I suppose it just depends on what E-publish wants to be: a module that has flexibility and is widely useful, or a module with a narrow focus that is only useful for highly specific situations. Marking as active in order to clarify the position of the developers, if nothing else.

Of course, you can design a flexible journal with CCK, views, node reference fields, etc.. So maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree here?
