author box inside a post

[udijw]

I want to create a page showing all the authors on my blog, is there a way (a shortcode maybe) to place an author box inside a post?
thanks,
udi

I see how this will enable a box, but not how it would allow me to place a box as part of a post's text

If you want the author box inside the content itself, you have to create a custom function. That capability is not built into WordPress or Genesis. This should get you started. I have not tested it, so you are on your own.

function wpb_author_info_box( $content ) {
    global $post;

    // Detect if it is a single post with a post author
    if ( is_single() && isset( $post->post_author ) ) {

        // Get author's display name 
        $display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'display_name', $post->post_author );

        // If display name is not available then use nickname as display name
        if ( empty( $display_name ) )
            $display_name = get_the_author_meta( 'nickname', $post->post_author );

        // Get author's biographical information or description
        $user_description = get_the_author_meta( 'user_description', $post->post_author );

        // Get author's website URL 
        $user_website = get_the_author_meta('url', $post->post_author);

        // Get link to the author archive page
        $user_posts = get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' , $post->post_author));

        if ( ! empty( $display_name ) )
            $author_details = '<p class="author_name">About ' . $display_name . '</p>';

        if ( ! empty( $user_description ) )
            // Author avatar and bio
            $author_details .= '<p class="author_details">' . get_avatar( get_the_author_meta('user_email') , 90 ) . nl2br( $user_description ). '</p>';

        $author_details .= '<p class="author_links"><a href="'. $user_posts .'">View all posts by ' . $display_name . '</a>';  

        // Check if author has a website in their profile
        if ( ! empty( $user_website ) ) {
            // Display author website link
            $author_details .= ' | <a href="' . $user_website .'" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Website</a></p>';
        } else { 
            // if there is no author website then just close the paragraph
            $author_details .= '</p>';
        }

        // Pass all this info to post content  
        $content = $content . '<footer class="author_bio_section" >' . $author_details . '</footer>';
    }
    return $content;
}

// Add our function to the post content filter 
add_action( 'the_content', 'wpb_author_info_box' );
// Allow HTML in author bio section 
remove_filter('pre_user_description', 'wp_filter_kses');
