I am trying to iterate the authors and show 1 entry for each (there is a little more to what I want to accomplish but this example show the problem that I am having).

One of the MT professional services guys told me to do it like this:



When I do a Save/Publish I get this error:
Publish error in template 'Main Index': Error in <mt:authors> tag: Error in <mt:Entries> tag: No such user '<mt:AuthorName/>'

Obviously there is a problem assigning the author filter like that. Could someone tell me the proper way to do this? I have emailed the MT guy but have not gotten a response yet. I need to get this resolved.

Thanks in advance!

sounds like MT isn't recognizing the <mt:AuthorName/> tag. perhaps try <mt:AuthorName /> instead

Try <mt:AuthorDisplayName />, As I read it <mt:AuthorName /> context is <mt:Author /> not <mt:Authors/>

What is the difference in what you are suggesting? That space? The space did not help.

This yields the same result.

Thanks for the quick replies guys. Any other ideas?

This:

...is not allowed.

You have to use variable interpolation if you need to use a template tag's value as an argument to another tag.

Ding! We have a winner. Thanks a bunch Su!
