I am creating a set of publications that more than one user is the author of. If I link to profile by using userid, only one user can be linked, if I link by last name, users with the same last name will be used. I would rather not edit a individualized last name field for each user. Is there another option?

First, I'm assuming you are referring to a listing on a users profile page? If so, the answer to your question is... there will be :-)

This part of the code has not been fully ported from the 5.x version. In the 6.x version all authors are given a unique "id" number so using this authors will the same last name will be able to list only their publications. Also, I haven't linked the Drupal "user id" and the biblio "author id" yet, when that's done profile listings should get a lot easier.

having this functionality would be great. we really need to be able to link papers by multiple authors to each of their profile pages in our conference-related site [where the single authored paper seems a thing of the past].

thanks again for a great module!

The 5.x version will handle the multiple author case, it just can't distinguish between "Smith, J" and "Smith, JA". (I know that sounds like the easiest thing in the world, but trust me it gets complicated :-)

Yes, I am referring to the listing on a user's profile page. The added function would be great. Thanks!
