JomSocial Avatar and a Custom JomSocial Field in article was created by devil

Hi,

you can put the JomSocial Avatar from the author and a Custom Jomsocial Field (like "about me") under the Item.

Open:

joomlaroot/components/com_flexicontent/templates/default/item.php

and paste follow code after Line 165

Code:

<!-- BOF Author block -->
<?php
//get authorid
$authorid = $this->item->created_by;

$jspath = JPATH_BASE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_community';
include_once($jspath.DS.'libraries'.DS.'core.php');

//get cuser and some field values
$user =& CFactory::getUser($authorid);
$data = $user->getInfo('FIELD_ABOUTME'); //create an jomsocial custom field (textarea) and enter in the field code: FIELD_ABOUTME
$avatarUrl = $user->getThumbAvatar();
echo '<div style="border:1px solid silver;">';
echo '<p><img src="'. $avatarUrl .'"/></p>';
echo '<p>'.$data.'</p>';
echo '</div>';
?>
<!-- EOF Author block -->

You can style it in anyway you want...

First, thank you for this code. It worked well.

Can you possibly suggest how to make the author name and avatar link to the user's JomSocial profile?

Thank you for your time and consideration.

This is from JomSocial 3rd Party Component Integration www.jomsocial.com/docs/3rd_Party ... ntegration
To Get Profile Link

Code:

$jspath = JPATH_ROOT.DS.'components'.DS.'com_community';
include_once($jspath.DS.'libraries'.DS.'core.php');
 
// Get CUser object
$link = CRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid='.$userid);
 
echo '[url='. $link .']View user profile[/url]';

Now the bottom has devils code, with Jomsocial link added

Code:

<!-- BOF Author block -->
<?php
//get authorid
$authorid = $this->item->created_by;

$jspath = JPATH_BASE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_community';
include_once($jspath.DS.'libraries'.DS.'core.php');

//get cuser and some field values
$user =& CFactory::getUser($authorid);
// Get CUser object
$link = CRoute::_('index.php?option=com_community&view=profile&userid='.$user);
$data = $user->getInfo('FIELD_ABOUTME'); //create an jomsocial custom field (textarea) and enter in the field code: FIELD_ABOUTME
$avatarUrl = $user->getThumbAvatar();
echo '<div style="border:1px solid silver;">';
echo '<p>[url='.$link.']<img src="'. $avatarUrl .'"/>[/url]</p>';
echo '<p>'.$data.'</p>';
echo '</div>';
?>
<!-- EOF Author block -->

I made the avatar link to the jomsocial profile. You can change it to what you want, but you get the idea.
