I'm modifying a plugin that uses in_category as a "filter" to compare a post to a parameter as set via the plugin's admin. For example, if post is category X, Y or Z then do {blank}.
I'd like to do the same of the post's author. But there doesn't seem to be an in_author or anything close for that matter. Anyone have any suggestions?
Finally, can anyone share a link to how I can add fields to the users profile? Or am I better off doing that via a plugin and/or outside the loop?

Adding custom fields to the user profile is a snap in WordPress 2.9 http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/10/adding-and-using-custom-user-profile-fields
For 2.8 and earlier try this out...

Thanks King! I'll check these out. I'm on 2.9.x so it shouldn't be a problem. It's so damn hard to keep up sometimes, eh :)

Hey King... Ya got anything up your sleeve on how to add custom fields to posts. I would presume it's similar but before I go searchin' I figured I'd ask.
Custom Fields for posts/pages are a native WordPress capability, but there are plugins that make it 'easier' to enter custom fields.

Thanks Michael H
Unless something has changed since 2.8.x I wasn't too impressed with that implementation of customer fields. The whole drop down UI bit struck me as somewhat hokey.
I'd like to add a field so that it looks like it's actually part of the post's UI - and not some "add on". Does that make sense? I've seen a couple themes do it but rather than dig under the hood I wanted to ask first.
Cheers,
MFS
