Filter by Author and Author Alias

With this new feature you can form lists of articles of a concrete author or several authors.

There are many ways how you can apply author filters to your Joomla site.

Create a list of Joomla articles by a certain author

The module can filter all the articles in every category on your site by an author. You just select this author from the list of author names in the module settings. The same way you can use author alias.

Articles of a certain author from selected Joomla categories

Sometimes you need to show articles by an author but from certain categories, not from all categories. RAXO module can do that. In the module parameters you select Joomla categories and then just use filter by the selected author or author alias.

List of articles by several authors

You can select several authors at the same time and in this case the module will retrieve articles by several authors. Also you can select several author alias. Moreover, you can use filters by author and author alias together.

Articles added by a logged-in Joomla user

This filter lets your authorised site user (e.g. the author who submits content to your site) view only the articles added by him. So with RAXO module you can easily display only the articles written by the user who has logged into your joomla website. This function will be useful for creating some kind of profile pages, etc.

Exclude Joomla articles added by a logged-in user

This filter is similar to the previous one, but works the opposite way. When your Joomla user authorises on your website he sees articles written by any other author, and his own articles are excluded from the module output.
