Theming grouped multiple values in Views

I have a View with a field called Content: Author and checked off "Group multiple values". The multiple values print on multiple lines in divs:
A
B
C
but I wanted them to print out on a single line separated by commas:
A,B,C

However, when looking at the $row array in the theme templates, those field_author_value fields don't show up at all. This post talks about it: http://drupal.org/node/763620

The way to theme it is to create a function called mytheme_content_view_multiple_field($items, $field, $values) in template.php and it is described here and here.

I followed this example:

I like it. One modification would be to call out the field you want to alter, so all other fields get rendered the stock way.

<?php
function mytheme_content_view_multiple_field($items, $field, $values) {
  //drupal_set_message($field['field_name']);
  if ($field['field_name'] == 'field_myfield' ) {
    $output = '';
    // Separate item values with my favorite separator.
    $separator = ', ';
    $array = array();
    foreach ($items as $item) {
      if (!empty($item) || $item == '0') {
        $array[] = $item;
      }
    }
    return '<span class="field-item">'. implode($separator, $array) .'</span>';
  }
  else {
    //else use the default function loacated at the bottom of cck/includes/views/content.views.inc
    return theme_content_view_multiple_field($items, $field, $values);
  }
}


?>
