copied!<p>How can I implement the possibility of having more than one author per blog post in mezzanine?</p> <p>In my particular case, I will have blog posts that will be authored by more than one person.</p> <p>==========================</p> <p>@lightstrike</p> <p>Thanks for your answer and email. I have this issue on STDBY as I have other more pressing matters I have to deal with in my app.</p> <p>I have tried field injection to customize other issues and they worked OK.</p> <p>On the issue in my question; I did try the field injection with the M2M field but It did not work. I did not get an error, but it did not work, at least as expected so I decided to work on the other issues and then come back to this one. By the way; I only gave field injection one shot so it might even be the case that I have a typo somewhere, absolutely no debugging or second thoughts were given as I had to move on.</p> <p>The following might look OOT but hang on!</p> <p>The good news is that, amongst other things, my app also needs some rather basic workflow control. I found <a href="https://github.com/renyi/mezzanine-editor" rel="nofollow">THIS SOLUTION</a> which worked right out of the box. YES IT DID!</p> <p>I learned about this app from an article in the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?hl=en#%21forum/mezzanine-users" rel="nofollow">Mezzanine Users Group</a> which link I know I have somewhere but will never find when I need it. Please look for it and read along as it is very eye opening. You will also learn that the name Reny gave it is indeed wrong, but I understand him as I'm also non English speaker and sometimes, when you translate it is hard to come up with the right names. Reny seems to be Italian (just a wild guess!) and I'm Spanish speaker. I know better (now) but "Editor" might well be a name I would have used.</p> <p>Again, I have not had time to get back to the issue on this question but:</p> <ul> <li>IT WORKS and that is what matters. I think it can be done much better or should I say easier to use by the developer(s) by creating permissions in code and have the end user use those permissions (if needed). As of this moment you have to create a group to make the workflow "magic" happen (read his README.md for more info).</li> <li>Again this is just an idea. I have not even looked into the code in detail. I added the app, and then some half a dozen lines in settings.py and voila, it worked!</li> <li>HERE IS THE DEAL THOUGH: I think that whatever he is doing (and I have only looked superficially into his code) can also be done to implement collaborative authoring (have a look into his save_model method of the EditorBlogPostAdmin Class in admin.py)</li> <li>The solution will not be as simple as what I can infer from his code but something tells me this is the right path.</li> </ul> <p>Just my two cents, but I will get back to this issue hopefully within the next 2 weeks and (hopefully) remember to post back here</p> <p>I will nevertheless take a deeper look into this discussion again before trying anything else.</p> <p>Thanks a lot!!</p>
