Several authors, authors and categories profile

[mamedovramil]

It is required to be able to specify several authors for the article, and also when clicking on the author, instead of filtering, receive a link to his profile. For categories, I would also like to follow the link to the page, instead of filtering.

@mamedovramil For two of your requests there might be an easy solution available. If you do not want to filter authors or categories you might want to try and adapt the templates, especially templates/djangocms_blog/include/blog_meta.html:

{% if post.author %}
<li>
    {% trans "by" %} <a href="{% url 'PUT HERE THE URL PATTERN NAME OF YOUR AUTHOR PROFILE' post.author %}">{% if post.author.get_full_name %}{{ post.author.get_full_name }}{% else %}{{ post.author }}{% endif %}</a>
</li>
{% endif %}

Similarly in the same file adjust the category link:

{% if post.categories.exists %}
    {% for category in post.categories.all %}
        {% if category.slug %}
            <li class="category_{{ forloop.counter }}"><a href="{% url 'URL PATTERN NAME FOR CATEGORY PROFILE' category %}" class="blog-categories-{{ category.count }}">{{ category.name }}</a>{% if not forloop.last %}, {% endif %}</li>
        {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
{% endif %}

The easiest way to adapt the templates is to copy them to your project into a valid template path and adjust them for your project.

While this does not provide the option for multiple authors I hope it at least solves your other issues.
