| Layout: Author Override | Billy Rick | A post to test author overrides using a data file. | 2018-09-10T12:32:27-04:00 |
Sites that may have content authored from various individuals can be accommodated by using data files.
To attribute an author to a post or page that is different from the site author specified in _config.yml:
Step 1. Create _data/authors.yml and add authors using the following format. Anything variables found under author in _config.yml can be used (e.g. name, bio, avatar, author links, etc.).
# /_data/authors.yml
Billy Rick:
name : "Billy Rick"
bio : "What do you want, jewels? I am a very extravagant man."
avatar : "/assets/images/bio-photo-2.jpg"
links:
- label: "Email"
icon: "fas fa-fw fa-envelope-square"
url: "mailto:billyrick@rick.com"
- label: "Website"
icon: "fas fa-fw fa-link"
url: "https://thewhip.com"
- label: "Twitter"
icon: "fab fa-fw fa-twitter-square"
url: "https://twitter.com/extravagantman"
Cornelius Fiddlebone:
name : "Cornelius Fiddlebone"
bio : "I ordered what?"
avatar : "/assets/images/bio-photo.jpg"
links:
- label: "Email"
icon: "fas fa-fw fa-envelope-square"
url: "mailto:cornelius@thewhip.com"
- label: "Twitter"
icon: "fab fa-fw fa-twitter-square"
url: "https://twitter.com/rhymeswithsackit"
Step 2. Assign one of the authors in authors.yml to a post or page you wish to override the site.author with.
Example: To assign Billy Rick as an author for a post the following YAML Front Matter would be applied:
author: Billy Rick
