Error-Message: The {{author}} helper should be replaced

Developer help

Hello everyone,

In the Ghost backend (version 5.89.6), I’m encountering the following error message:

The {{#author}} block helper should be replaced with {{#primary_author}} or {{#foreach authors}}…{{/foreach}}

Here is an attached screenshot:

Here’s my underlying thought:

For each author with a fixed slug /author/surname-name/, I create a corresponding file in the backend. This file is named author-surname-name.hbs.

I’m currently using the following code:

{{#author}}
    <header class="archive-section">
        <div class="archive-wrap">
            <div class="archive-container is-custom">
                <div class="archive-content is-custom">
                    <div>
                        {{>images/author_image}}
                        <h1 class="archive-title">{{name}}</h1>
                    </div>
                    {{#if bio}}
                    <p class="archive-description">
                        {{bio}}
                    </p>
                    {{/if}}
                </div>
                <div class="border-separator"></div>
                <nav class="filter global-tags">
                    <a href="#beitraege">All Posts</a>
                    <a href="#biographie">Biography</a>
                    <a href="#themenschwerpunkte">Key Topics</a>
                    <a href="#expertise">Expertise & Competence</a>
                    <a href="#erfahrung">Experience</a>
                    <a href="#kontakt">Contact</a>
                </nav>
            </div>
        </div>
    </header>
{{/author}}
<section id="beitraege" class="mb-72 mb-36-m scrolling-container relative">
    {{>misc/background}}
    <h2 class="subtitle mx-auto mw-1120 mx-18-m">All posts by <span>{{#author}}{{name}} {{/author}}</span></h2>
    <div class="scrolling-wrapper-flexbox horizontal-swipe">
        {{#foreach posts}}
        {{>loop-item-first}}
        {{/foreach}}
    </div>
    {{>misc/buttons}}
</section>

The goal is to display specific information (profile picture, name, etc.) and posts for each author. How can I achieve the same functionality without constantly receiving the error in the backend?

Here is a working example on the live site: Daniel Wenz - Bitcoin2Go

I would appreciate it if anyone could take a closer look at this problem or - if possible - provide me with a hint on how to solve the problem.

Best regards and thank you in advance

There’s nothing wrong with your code. This is a bug in gscan.

You might open an issue over on GitHub if you don’t already see one.

Thanks Cathy,

I have been rewriting the code now to address the displayed issue.

So what did I do?

I’ve been implementing an authors-folder containing partials such as {{>authors/name-of-author}} where I stored the individual text and bio about each author.

I’ve removed all dedicated author-surname-name.hbs files.

In the author.hbs file I’ve implemented {{#match name "Surname Name"}}{{>authors/name-of-author}}{{/match}}.
