A86 Author Menu


Page no: A86

A46 Author Menu

 

 

Requirements

 

We want to create a new menu which has

  • only custom links to author-profiles
  • has only author pictures
  • has NO categories

For all blogs we need 40 author pictures (two rows with author pics)
These are the 40 authors with the most posts.
Heterodox and European may have less.

 

For multi-author blogs add the authors into our
author & feeds tables

 

(February 10, 2017)

The current menu pictures are too small

 

Solution Approaches

Idea 1) Small menu with sub menus

We will have 5 buttons: Home, Browse our authors, Browse our categories, About us, Other blogs, wordpress – pro.

Hovering over Author

Browse by Category

 

When you hover on one of the buttons, then the menu with categories or authors will appear (see screen 2)

Idea3) Old Menu

The new menu becomes a Author home page pane.

Posts, archives and author pages use the old menu.

 

Dynamic Menu

Algorithm:
Basis: Take authors with more than X posts in the last Y days.
Ignore private posts.

If more than Z authors, then we take only the ones with most posts.

 

Backend:

Configure the number of authors required.

Possible to implement also on SNBCHF

 

 

 

If less 40 authors, make only one row with less authors.
