Hi

Sorry for delay, Your thread was marked as solved by moderator system because of bumps.

Please send me an access to joomla panel. I've checked the code of the article layout and all informations shoud be accessible via configuration.

Hi

I do not see a problem in configuration so please edit file: /html/com_content/article/default.php find code:

Code: Select all
         <?php if ($params->get('show_author') && !empty($this->item->author )) : ?>
         <li class="createdby">
            <?php $author = $this->item->created_by_alias ? $this->item->created_by_alias : $this->item->author; ?>
            
            <?php if (!empty($this->item->contactid) && $params->get('link_author') == true): ?>
            <?php
               $needle = 'index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=' . $this->item->contactid;
               $menu = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu();
               $item = $menu->getItems('link', $needle, true);
               $cntlink = !empty($item) ? $needle . '&Itemid=' . $item->id : $needle;
            ?>
               <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY', JHtml::_('link', JRoute::_($cntlink), $author)); ?>
            <?php else: ?>
               <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY', $author); ?>
            <?php endif; ?>
         </li>
         <?php endif; ?>


and replace it with:

Code: Select all
         <li class="createdby">
            <?php $author = $this->item->created_by_alias ? $this->item->created_by_alias : $this->item->author; ?>
            <?php
               $needle = 'index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=' . $this->item->contactid;
               $menu = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu();
               $item = $menu->getItems('link', $needle, true);
               $cntlink = !empty($item) ? $needle . '&Itemid=' . $item->id : $needle;
            ?>
            <?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY', JHtml::_('link', JRoute::_($cntlink), $author)); ?>
         </li>

Hi

It's just not possible ;/ My code has overrided any show/hide values with author. This can only means that it's a wrong file. Please send me an access to FTP so I'll track the right file and will force it to show.

Hi

I have not found the code I've posted here in this file at all :) but I think You have removed it after seeing it was not working. Anyway I have put it back as mentioned in my above post than had to clear joomla cache twice, but in the end the author displayed :) It's working now.

Hi teitbite.

It was not what I expected. See the first image the author is being shown on the left side when it is configured not to display date and time. In the second image the author is being displayed below the title and on the left side. I hoped that the author was shown just below the title, like all other items.

Hi

That's the place it was designed to be seen in article view. But knowing the file and code already it was not hard to change it. Please just add this to css to make it look like in category layout.

Code: Select all
article header div.createdby {
    color: #999999;
    font-size: 12px;
}

I'm sorry, I do not know enough about CSS to make these changes.

I'm not believing the place to see the author of the article is two places. Is this correct?

Now other layouts are broken: See this link:

Hi

So is it ok right now ? I only changed the layout of a single article, if other were wrong than it could be becuase of cache or a broken file during installation.

Not OK. I went back to the template unchanged, because it was not good

Hi

As I said my change was done to a code used for a single article only. So if there were issues in other place this could be because of validation errors. Please revert it to the point where I've left it and I'll check if I've made a mistake while copying the code or is it comming from article itself.
