Someone posted an article via K2 and the category page lists the author as me or whatever my username is. If I am not logged in it lists the author as "Guests." However when I click the article title the actual article page lists the correct author.
Still waiting for help with this problem before the true author think I'm trying to steal their thunder.

We got around the single author requirement with a custom extrafield we designed that pulls from the K2 authors and allows you to select multiple authors to display as the authors for the article.
Hope that helps!

Hi Jon,
I'm interested in this feature and was wondering if you have any code you'd be willing to share?
Thanks,
railer

If you get this, please return to the K2 thread and post how you got an extra field to link to the K2 database and pull authors names and also link to their profiles?
Thank you,
railer

I would like to do this exact thing as long as the additional author name is linked to all their k2-items.
Does anyone know how to do this?
