How to bind all articles written by an author

Hi, I'm using your component and I can't find help.

I have my page here which contains author's name, and I'd like to link each author to a bunch of articles written by that author.

How do I do that?

Hi, you can use this setup.

1) create a CP new tag 'Author', with all the authors' names.
2) tag the articles with the appropriate CP Author Tag

Whenever the visitor clicks an Author tag, CP will return the list of related articles.

Additional optional settings:
a) You can use the CP Menu module to make a list Authors links

b) You can associate the author profile (assuming there's such thing and it's a Joomla article) to the relvant CP Tags, by filling the "Article ID" field (Custom Properties > Manage Custom Properties > edit the author tag)
b.1) make sure parameter "Show tag article" is enabled in Custom Properties main config
b.2) The profile will be displayed before the the list of related articles, whenever the visitor clicks the the Author Tag


A more sophisticated setup:
Assuming you can add a menu item for each Author, you can do the following:

1) add a menu item for an author: the menu item will point the single article that is the author's profile
2) associate to this menu item a CP Menu Show module;
2.a) select the appropriate 'Author' tag as 'CP Tag' parameter
2.b) the module need to be assigned only to this menu item
2.c) yes, there will be as many menu items and Cp News Show modules as there are authors

With this setup, whenever the visitor choses the author from the menu, a page with its profile is displayed and the relevant list of articles's previews are displayed in the side CP News show module.

Thanks for replying to me.

So how do I create a CP new tag?

Below's a screenshot of all my components.

Is it the "Tags" option that I see before the last option in my screenshot?
Don't you have any documentation or manual??

Components > Custom Properties > Manage Custom Properties > New

Thanks. I followed the first step and still not working.

I created "a CP new tag 'Author'" with all the authors' names,
I also tagged the articles with the appropriate CP Author Tag.

Please how would I make it work?

I have one question : How will these Authors'name links in that page be linked to articles??

Because the above link-page, it's an article which contains the "Authors'name". Please see image below

Seems like every single author's name must be linked to the CP Author Tag ???

I have one question : How will these Authors'name links in that page be linked to articles??

That's not the way it works.

I suggested in the first reply to your post a possible way you can setup your site to show the Author and its articles:

Assuming you can add a menu item for each Author, you can do the following:

1) add a menu item for an author: the menu item will point the single article that is the author's profile
2) associate to this menu item a CP Menu Show module;
2.a) select the appropriate 'Author' tag as 'CP Tag' parameter
2.b) the module need to be assigned only to this menu item
2.c) yes, there will be as many menu items and Cp News Show modules as there are authors

To do this you need:
- an article for each Author, with its profile
- a menu item for each Author
- a Custom Properties News Show module for each author page
