  • Same here. Would rather not network enable. Did you get this sorted, @anointed?

    Thanks for the ideas Coopersita. I am working on your 2nd suggestion of the 2 custom post types, so that when a quote is submitted, 2 posts are created: 1)quote author, returning the post id 2)quote, then update post_meta, using the quote author post id to tie the author to the quote.

    Just wanted to give a quick update so you didn’t think I was a hog and jogger! As always, any feedback on approach is appreciated.

    Hey Oz, sorry to get your hopes up…I don’t have an answer, but have the same question, and was wondering if you could post your answer if you powered through this. Seems like there should be a built-in, something similar to the_author_posts_link, but I have yet to find it.

    Many thanks for the reply, coopersita. I previously thought custom post types were my answer. However, I decided against it because the custom post type would be the quote, but also capture the quote author and all of his/her info. This is fine if a quote author only has one quote, but if a person has a hundred different quotes, I’m storing a new (but same) quote author with each one of those quotes. Not a big deal at first, but I fancy it as a scaling decision thing once things take off. Also, for me, the quote author is almost important as the quote, so I want to build in as much flexibility as possible for quote author.
    Thanks again for the reply and info you sent. I will take another stroll through it, to see if I have an a-ha moment.

    Hate to bump, but it’s a wee bit urgent. Plus, it should be a short and sweet 5 minute post for you gurus!
    Thanks again.
