I'm testing this module and it looks great. I miss, however, only one thing: When viewing all quotes by the same author, I would like to display a short bio at the top of the list.

I'm not a programmer at all, but maybe it could be done by adding a block that whenever an author it's selected, it would display the short bio...

Interesting idea. Does anyone know if Biblio does this? And how to interface with that module?

I can think of two ways to do this: 1) Add code and a new table to maintain this; 2) Convert "Author" to a taxonomy term and the author links to "taxonomy/term/xxx". I personally like #2 because you get more flexibility; not only can you easily add a bio, but a picture too. I'm not sure which would be easier or faster, but #2 might be a bit more disruptive.

Would you use my contact link, please. I'd like to send you a copy to test.

Also, are you using MySql or Postgres?
