Hello,

I have questions about author profiles and author items list:

1) How can I make the author name to be clickable and take me to the author profile page that has been assigned to him?

1.1) Is there a field for displaying an author's items that I can add to the author profile page?

2) How can I customize the template used for showing author items list?

-- currently the profile item is injected in author's items view

but it makes sense to have a simple field to add be able to add link to it, this should be trivial, and it was inteneded for v3.0.0 but it was not done, will be in v3.0.1


There is a system plugin not in main package to
make replacements of
- fields,
- items,
- user's profile item
- and item, category links

anywhere in the page,

see your email


1.1) Is there a field for displaying an author's items that I can add to the author profile page?
there is the field "Author items", which will link to author items listing

but the profile item must belong to the user, otherwise it will not work

2) How can I customize the template used for showing author items list?


- Currently the only way is to create a menu item for every author

i think we should add a parameter to be able to select an author menu item (without any specific author) for ALL such author item pages

Hi,

I need the same thing.
For some content type, i need to link the item author (and even the item title for some case) to the profile page assigned to the author in the FC author management)
I use the latest version of FC, but i don't find this option.

Anyway, if the system plugin can solve this, i would be happy to give it a try.

Best regards.

Hi

See your email
- for documentation you can see the description when you edit the plugin in Joomla plugin manager

Hi,

Thank you for the plugin.
But it seems it's not possible to create link to the author profile with the plugin.

An idea : may be it could be useful to can make a link to the user profile through the 'created_by' fields.
In 'Viewing' tab , add an option to add link to the user profile would be very great.

I can sponsor this new feature if needed.

Best regards
