List of Author Boxes WordPress

Dan Fraticiu answers:

Put this into your function.php

function authors_list_shortcode_handler($atts, $content=null){

global $wpdb;

$authors = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT ID, user_nicename from $wpdb->users ORDER BY display_name" );

$content = '';
foreach($authors as $author){

$content .='<div id="colaborador">';

$content .= userphoto($author->ID);
$content .= '<div id="titulocolaborador">'.get_usermeta($author->ID, 'first_name').' '.get_usermeta($author->ID, 'last_name').'</div>';

$content .= '<div id="textocolaborador">'.get_usermeta($author->ID, 'description').'</div>';

$content .= '<a href="'.get_author_posts_url($author->ID, $author->user_nicename).'">Link</a>';

$content .= '</div>';
}

return $content;

}
add_shortcode('authors_list','authors_list_shortcode_handler');



Then use this [authors_list] where you wnat to display the list.

I'm don't know if the photo will work, I haven't test it as I don't have that plugin installed but everything else shold be fine.

So, in function.php copy/paste this code:


function my_list_authors() {
global $wpdb;

$authors = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * from $wpdb->usermeta WHERE meta_key = 'wp_capabilities' AND meta_value = 'a:1:{s:6:\"author\";b:1;}'");

foreach ( (array) $authors as $author ) {
$author = get_userdata( $author->user_id );
$userlevel = $author->wp2_user_level;

$name = "$author->first_name $author->last_name";
$the_description = $author->description;
$author_id = $author->ID;

$file = get_option('home') . '/';
$the_link .= $file . '?author=' . $author_id;

?><li><?php echo '<a href="' . $the_link . '" title="' . $name . '">';?><?php echo userphoto($author_id, '', '', array(style => 'width:100px;height:100px;'), get_template_directory_uri() . '/default-avatar.gif'); ?><br /><span class="authors_displayname"><?php echo $name; ?></span></a><br /><?php echo $the_description; ?></li>
<?php
}
}


Then create page template ([[LINK href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates"]]how-to on Codex[[/LINK]]) and within WordPress loop paste this function:


<ul>
<?php my_list_authors(); ?>
</ul>


This will display all authors (people with author rank) from your WordPress with userphoto, name, description and it will all be wrapped into link to author's archive, and it will also display default avatar from your template folder :)
