    My client has a blog and a number of staff will be updating it. Each blog article will have the author's photo listed with the Author name's.

    I figure I can accomplish this with @CHUNK binding to a few List Box options.
    I've mocked up a diagram to illustrate this. Essentially, an Author can select their name from a drop down list of Authors and it pulls a CHUNK with their photo and name onto the page.

    The first question I have is wether I am am complicating things here or is this the way other MODX developers would set this up.

    Second question I have is how to over-ride the Template Variable List Box. IE My guest Author won't always have a photo or a name associated with a CHUNK. In that instance, I'd like to manually insert a photo and add their Name.

    Thanks for your help
