Display number of posts next to author name

Issue Summary

It'd be useful to have the number of posts each author has next to their name in the Taxonomy. Hope that's not already in there and I glossed over it!

#1

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'd rather not implement that feature. Querying the database for a list of all nodes tagged with an author term could be a performance hit.

However, if you are a developer or have access to developer resources, you can add this functionality to our site by overriding the theme function that produces the output. You can add a query there and add the number of posts.

I'll leave this issue open to see if people vote it up. If more people would like it, I'll add it.

I haven't seen any activity here, so I'll mark this feature request as "won't fix." The feature can be accomplished at either the theme or module level by implementing template_preprocess_node().
