Hide certain groups from author list?
I'm playing around with something that will require visitors to register with the site so I can impose read privileges. The unfortunate side effect is that my author list is growing quite long. These new groups are never going to have true author capabilities - ie, they will not be writing entries. Can we get a property for groups that hides any users belonging to that group from any drop down list of authors?

Hi!
Can you name a list of these dropdowns? Then I could inspect how cumbersome that would be. Something like a "[x] Hidden group" checkbox, just like a permission, should work in this instance, I believe...

I am not sure where they ALL are, but here are a few:
Create entries
Edit entries - this is limited to just authors who have created entries.
Configure plugins
There are probably more...

Hi!
You mean "create entries" the additional entry properties checkbox to change author ownership?

Hi!
Ok, I'll see what I can come up with in this matter for the 1.6 release!

Re: Hide certain groups from author list?
Hi!
Just committed to SVN trunk; it now has a checkbox for each group that identifies a hidden group. I patched the entryproperties plugin, entry overview, authors sidebar plugin and plugin overview to support those new dropdowns.
It simply allows to use the serendipity_fetchAuthors() function, if the second option is "hidden", then those authors from hidden groups will be excluded.
HTH,
Garvin
