Name Type Description
linked_list String A shortcut to display a comma-separated list of author titles from the items list. Each title will be linked to the URL for that author if one exists. If there are no authors this will output "(none)". The last two items in the list will also be separated by " and "

{% authors %}

{% authors
var|set|assign
 
Optional. Specify either "var", "set" or "assign" to change which scope this authors is stored on. "var" is the default behavior.
variable_name
 
Specify a variable name in order to save this authors to a variable. If not specified, it will be output to the template instead.
output_to_template
 
If included the authors will be output directly to the template.
=
prepend:value
 
Prepend the specified authors before the fetched results. All prepended input will be returned in the same order that it is input. Value may one or more authors, a guid, or a string.
append:value
 
Append the specified authors after the fetched results. All appended input will be returned in the same order that it is input. Value may one or more authors, a guid, or a string.
exclude:value
 
Prevent the specified authors from being included in the fetched results. Has no affect on prepended and appended items. Value may one or more authors, a guid, or a string.
exclude_prepended:true
 
Specifically exclude all prepended authors from the fetched results. If "unique:true" is specified this is the default behavior, although you may also specify "exclude_prepended:false" to allow any prepended items to be fetched along with other results anyway.
exclude_appended:true
 
Specifically exclude all appended authors from the fetched results. This is false by default - even if "unique:true" is specified - so that results are returned in the proper order.
unique:true
 
If set to true, each of the resulting lists (prepended, fetched, appended, and items) will be unique, although there may be duplicates between the prepended, fetched, and appended lists. The "items" list will include objects in the order in which they appear - with prepended items first, then fetched items, then appended items.
max_size:number
 
If specified, then the "items" list will only include up to the specified number of authors. The "limit" may be automatically lowered to only fetch the maximum number of articles that will be included in "items" following prepended items. Note that this may also impact both the "page" and "total_pages" values. In order to use pagination with a list loaded using "max_size" use "start" instead of "page" and "limit".
