Hello
I'm looking for an elegant way to link single.php with a author specific template
The context :
My original website (carrington based) : http://velofun.fr
My playground to learn Thematic : http://www.saint-elie.com/testbed
WP 3.3b4 / Thematic latest svn
My website (about leisure / urban cycling) has two kind of authors :
- a generic one : me (myself and I)
- Invited authors (grouped in the “guest stars” category)
What I want to do :
Having a specific presentation for some specific authors whatever the entry is : entry by author (ok) entry by category (ok) entry by post title (not ok)
Current situation
I have a specific presentation for categories, if i click on « Guest Stars » in my menu :
http://www.saint-elie.com/testbed/category/guest-stars/
The specific image /introduction text appear. (category-categorynickname.php ) ok so far
If I choose a specific « guest star », same success :
http://www.saint-elie.com/testbed/category/guest-stars/lovely-bike/
If i click on the author name ; everything is still fine (author-authornickname.php)
http://www.saint-elie.com/testbed/author/lovelybicycle/
But if instead, I click on the post title (single.php):
http://www.saint-elie.com/testbed/2011/04/lovelybike-effet-mary-poppins/
The specific environment disappears. And that’s normal as the template system cannot determine anything based on the url
what I’m failing to do
I’m looking for an elegant way to link a post to an author in a way that if the author has a specific template, the post (single.php) get the same presentation.
Carrington does that automagically, I’m not clear how to do this with Thematic.
Thanks in advance
Luc
