Support for authors

[EdwinFLopez]

Hi. This is more like a question (if can't be achieved, it's a feature request).

We're a team of 3 people and I'd like to see for each one of us, an author profile and a little picture in each one of the post written, pretty much like this theme for bootstrap:

• adventurethemes - posts,
• adventurethemes - author profile.

Is it possible to acomplish currently? If so, how can I proceed?.

Thanks a lot.

@EdwinFLopez, may be you can register a new custom page type author, define a template for author in jbake.properties template.users.file=author.ftl. Design author.ftl to be author's profile page. On post/index, you can refer the authors defined in content model. (You can use any template language instead of ftl). Give it a try.

@melix had mentioned similar usage here #78 (comment)

I'll try it. Thank you @manikmagar

You are welcome @EdwinFLopez. If it works, then don't forget to update solution here, it might help someone else looking to do similar thing.

Just saw this bug #283 where custom types are broken in v2.4.0 so keep a check on that while you try.

@EdwinFLopez did you achieve what you wanted to by using a custom content type?
