Feature request: authors can be a predefined taxonomy #2648

Open ceyusa opened 1 month ago

Bug Report

Environment

Zola version: 0.19.2

Expected Behavior

Since https://github.com/getzola/zola/pull/2092 it's possible to set authors per page, something that historically has been done through taxonomies. This new page frontmatter, if I understand correctly, might lead to duplicated data per page.

I would like to propose a predefined taxonomy, authors if there are pages with this frontmatter metadata defined.

Current Behavior

It's impossible (afaiu) to create a list and single of authors frontmatter metadata.

Step to reproduce

Try to create a list of authors.

authors was added for the feeds. It's problematic to add it as a taxonomy since it might not be the wanted name and it breaks symmetry with the other taxonomies. There could be some duplication yes depending on how it's set up.

Thanks @Keats

I understand the rejection of creating a virtual taxonomy, still I wonder if it's possible other API to grab the list of authors and the posts written by an author. Perhaps a couple of templates, such as feed-author.html and feed-authors.html, if present, offer them. I don't know, just throwing ideas.

Anyway, if what I'm saying is nonsense, please close the issue :)
