Show authors in category (Wordpress)

[jdunhin]

I have struggle the whole morning with this code. This is to show authors from a certain category. Feel free to make it work for you, but this works for me....

<?php
$catauthors = array();
$citycat=8;
$allposts=get_posts("cat=$citycat&showposts=-1");
if ($allposts) {
foreach($allposts as $authorpost) {
$catauthors[$authorpost->post_author]+=1;
}
arsort($catauthors); //sort array in reverse order by number of posts
foreach($catauthors as $key => $author_post_count) {
$curuser = get_userdata($key);
$author_post_url=get_author_posts_url($curuser->ID, $curuser->nicename);
echo '<p><a href="' . $author_post_url . '" title="' . sprintf( __( "Posts by %s" ), $curuser->user_nicename ) . '" ' . '>' . $curuser->user_nicename .'</a></p>';
}
}
?>

Useful code, Jdunhin. I am using wordpress flatform for my blog. but why don't you use this code

<?php the_author(); ?>

to show author name in wordpress ? . It's shorter than your code you showed

I struggled with that to show just users of a certain category. I was also near my deadline for the website and need results before the end of the day

with wordpress can you make references from internet or wordpress community.
on your signature, is Webbroker your site ? and did you do it on wordpress ?

hi jdunhin, do you show your code in action ( on website ). I think it's a custom code and maybe helpful for me.

 

[jdunhin]

Yes WebBroker is my online business. Yes it is on Wordpress. I use wordpress for everything and develop more functions if I need more.

Yes, I think I'm allowed to put my link on

It's really professional site, if you designed that theme, I believe that you are wordpress expert and pro design

 

[jdunhin]

I usually buy themes or use Hybrid basic and make a child theme from the theme. Then I customize the !@#$ out of it . Like this auction theme I bought it for the auction function.

I'm one of the lucky people because my work is to build themes and develop on Wordpress for a big company in South Africa. So it is very fun!

Thank you for you kind words!!

Dmoz,

I used this code on your intranet for all your different departments, they basically have there own "rooms" if I can call it that
