I'm trying to display in the showcase a single bloggers blogs, is this possible?

Thanks!
Hello Chris,

I have just added a new param in the showcase module for you and you can enter the author id in the settings It will fetch blog posts posted by specific author. You also need to set "Show Post" to "Latest" instead of "Featured".

Hello Chris,

I am sorry but unfortunately you can't display the showcase of blog posts in a single author layout. You'll probably need to rely on the showcase module if you want

That sounds like what i'm after, i would like to use the Showcase module, but just have the blogs by a specific user feeding into it, is that possible?

Thanks for your help
Chris

Hello Chris,

Hm, I don't think that the module is "intelligent" enough to know that you are viewing on a specific author but in the show case module, you can configure the module to only display blog posts from selected author though.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for all your help on this one!
I am struggling trying to figure out how to show blogs from a single blogger in the showcase module.
Am I missing something?

Regards
Chris

Hello Chris,

If you can download and install the showcase module, you can configure the module to only pull blog posts from specific author.

Hi Mark,
I am afraid I don't see where I can do that, is it in the routing behavior?
I have attached a screenshot of the modules admin. I am using the latest version. 3.9.1

Thanks again.
Regards
Chris

Ah okay, my bad. It looks like the showcase module currently cannot filter blog posts by specific authors I could quickly add a hack for you if you want but I would need the back end and FTP access.
