Our site often has articles written by two or more authors, which we assign via a taxonomy – so every post has an author, and zero or more collaborators (which are tied to an author ID).
What we’d like to do would be to add a new payment type of “collaborator,” which would pay those collaborating authors for any posts on which they were listed as a collaborator. But though I can use the ppc_get_requested_posts_args filter to search for both authors and collaborators, it looks like the central loop in PPC_generate_stats::group_stats_by_author() functions purely off the post’s author ID. So when we loop through the collaborated posts on the author page, it still strips any posts that were that author in a collaborative role.
Is there a way to add a payment type that splits payments among multiple authors?
Hi Ferrett,
paying non authors is not so easy. Quite honestly, it does require some hacking of the internals of the plugin, as it was originally conceived to pay authors for posts they are author of.That being said, we have the addon Referral Visits, which pays users for visits they bring to other people’s articles, which I guess is somewhat close to what you’d want. It works by creating a new payment criteria tied to authors, rather than posts. A good idea, maybe, would be to purchase that and use it as a starting basis for whatever implementation you’d like to build?
Have a nice day,
Stefano
