"Contributing Authors" Page Attribute
Permalink
What would be the best method to add a "user" attribute?
I'd like to set up a page attribute that, when a person adds/edits a page they can select from the list registered users and add in authors that may not be registered.
My plan is to have these users listed at the top of the page and if they are registered have a link that points to their profile page.
I thought that the "Select Multiple" attribute type would work, but how do I set dynamic values?
Thanks,

I should really stop posting so late at night. :p
And there plenty of other scenarios where one might want attributes to be more dynamic (like pulling from a list of zipcodes). I don't believe that there's currently a good way to do this, but I wonder if the attribute types could eventually be abstracted into objects. If a user wanted to add a new attribute type, they could then create a new attributeType class. In your situation, maybe you'd create a SiteUsersAttributeType that in this case would pull from a list of available users for its possible values.
