Arrow [Job] Modding Wordpress

I've been trying to mod wordpress to allow multiple pages for authors.

Quote:
/authors/username (default)
/authors/username/page1
/authors/username/page2
/authors/username/page3 etc
Wordpress is being a bitch so if anyone wants a job, i'd pay handsomely.

PM for details.

I'm not sure I'm understanding what you are looking for here. I thought WP has the ability for multiple pages/blogs for multiple authors...?

Nope it does not. It only allows 1 page (unless it's a paginated page).

For example. I'd like to have a page "/authors/username/comments" where all the comments that author has made appear on. - Just an example of what i'm after.

Is that clearer?

Yes, that clears things up a bit.

By the looks of it you can easily (although I am not very gifted with the knowledge of Wordpress) use the mod_rewrite rule from your apache to make those links. If you could create an extension that simply makes a pagination for it, but displays the url like it has some kind of 'map', you would be out of the woods already, right?

So, like on fora, you would like to have (let's just assume), 3 pages.
Page one should contain the basic information (blog 'n stuff) about the author, page two should display the posts and comments made by the user (in categories of course) and page three for example, latest visits and more gibberish you'd like to put on it.

Am I getting close? Because if so, I guess it's doable.

Yeah, that's exactly what im after ReSpawn, apart from wordpress and mod-rewrites don't go well together. I've tried it myself and it failed miserably.

I'll pay nicely

Since I am not very experienced with Wordpress, I'd have to do a little bit of research into it. If it works out, I will post my findings and if I am able to help you.

If you manage to find an other developer in the mean time (I advise people like Alan or others, no offense) I do not mind. It's simply business!

Let me get back to you on that.

you should be using permalinks (Admin Dashboard-->OptionsPermalinks) and probably use a custom url structure (and maybe also setup a 301 redirect). More info here: Using Permalinks WordPress Codex . hope that helps.
