Home Extensions Author Details

Author Details

This plugin shows user details and other articles based on the creator of the current article. It's using a template based approach.

Instructions

This plugin shows its output using template files. These files should be put into plugins/content/authordetails/layouts/ folder. By default, there are 2 templates for article list and 1 template for author information. Naming convention is article_tmplname.php and information_tmplname.php. After putting these files in that folder, you can choose the template to use in plugin parameters. This makes customization easier.

There are some parameters that may need explanation. "Show According To Author Name" looks for author name in the article parameters and if it's on shows the plugin. This is good if you want to hide the plugin output from particular pages and don't want to deal with allowed article parameter.

  1. Çok güzel bir şey bu gerçekten. Yalnız bunun botlu modülünü de istiyoruz. Yani çıkacağı yeri kendimiz belirlememiz çok daha güzel olur. teşekkürler.

  2. Tam aradığım şeyi yapmışsın Ercan. Fikrine sağlık. Yazarlar modülünde yazarlarla ilgili kısa HTML açıklama ve köşenin adını da koymak istiyorum. Senden ses çıkmazsa ben deneyeceğim yapmayı. İnşallah yapabilirim... Kolay gelsin...

    Hakan on 22 July 2008 00:36
  3. @Enes Teşekkürler. Değişik bir mantık da olsa yapılamaz bir şey değil. Umarım ileride bakacak vaktim olur. @Hakan Kevine Devine tarafından hazırlanan UserMeta adlı eklenti ile yazarlara yeni alanlar ekleyip bunları da görünüm dosyasını kullanarak gösterebilirsiniz.

    Ercan on 27 July 2008 01:00
  4. Ercan çok teşekkür ederim. Deneyeceğim. Siteni ve yazılan yorumları ve yeni versiyonları takip ediyroum. Tekrar fikrine sağlık.

  5. Tekrar Merhaba Ercan, Kevin Devine'a ait UserMeta adlı eklentiyi bulamadım. Kendisinin hazırladığı eklentilere de baktım, ancak hiçbiri belirttiğin işi yapar gibi görünmedi. Bu konuda senden tekrar destek rica edebilir miyim? Teşekkürler, iyi çalışmalar.

  7. Tekrar Merhaba Ercan. Aslında önerin harikaydı ancak anladığım kadarıyla ben Joomla 1.5.4 kullandığım için (User meta versiyonu 1.5.2) tabloyu da yarattığım halde bende extra alan database'e kayıt yapamadı. Bu konuda bana ücretiyle yardımcı olmayı düşünür müsün? Database'e 2 kaydı girmek ve o kaydı (köşenin başlığı ve yazarı tanıtan kısa bir yazıyı) köşe yazılarının başında göstermek kadar basit bir talebim var. E-mailime yanıt yazabilirsin. Teşekkürler, Hakan

  9. It's really cool component but I found one problem. If you have multi page article all author informations are printed on every page and it doesn't look professional. If you can fix that and author details and other publications will display only on last page it will be great.

    Corwin on 05 August 2008 13:04
  10. Hi, it worked ok. Now, only one point is, would be easier if we had an option (in the plugin configuration) to disable the collapsed function, instead of having to edit the code. One question: will Google robots follow the links inside the plugin ? Tks. Great plugin.

    hbf1000 on 07 August 2008 00:00
  11. Work good for one of my site. But one request feature: 1. If it is possible please add Author alias.

    mimosa on 21 August 2008 03:49
  12. It seems like an excellent idea but I could not make it work on my Joomla 1.5. I have no idea what happens.

    olivier morin on 09 September 2008 19:40
  13. Hi, Can you help with this improvement: I would like to insert your plugin in another registerEvent (preparecontent for example), because I want to include the plugin inside the content, foating right. Could you help me ? Tx

    Christophe on 03 October 2008 19:18
  14. Hi Christophe, I didn't try it but 2 changes should be enough: 1- Change onAfterDisplayContent to onPrepareContent. 2- Find return $output; in this method and instead put this code block: $article->text .= $output; return true That should be enough. HTH. Ercan

    Ercan on 03 October 2008 19:28
  15. Thanks for your great work! And one question: is it possible to add such a feature as replacing author's caption in the blog wiew with a link to the list of other articles published by him, instead of showing it below the article? Thanks in advance!

    xendex on 05 October 2008 10:20
  16. Merhaba, Eklenti çok güzel, teşekkür ederim. Fakat ne yazık ki ben Türkçeleştiremedim. articles_default.php'deki "Show Other Articles Of This Author" yazısını "Yazarın Diğer Yazıları" şeklinde değiştirdiğim zaman Türkçe karakterler görünmüyor. Yardımcı olabilirseniz çok memnun olurum.

    Güner on 16 October 2008 10:02
  17. Merhaba, dosyayı utf-8 karakter kodlamasıyla kaydederseniz düzelecektir.

    Ercan on 16 October 2008 12:18
  18. Mesaj kirliliği olmasın diye yazmamayı düşünüyordum ama yanıtınız için teşekkür etmesem de olmaz. Teşekkür ederim...

    Güner on 21 October 2008 14:20
  19. Nice addition... would be cool to have an option to look for MODIFIED DATE! So, one could show the latest UPDATED articles, too. TIA!!!

  21. Hi, Super idea and great layouts Suggestions: Possibility of - language translation (ini)) - to hide "Our valuable member Administrator has been with" - to hide for specific members (ex.:Administrator,..)

  28. Very good! Thanks! Great extensions!

  29. Excellent solution. 1-2-3 done in 2-3 minutes. Perhaps a future version might include a reader selectable option "show all" articles by author. This would be a big help until Joomla has a decent search feature.

    Jim Capo on 28 December 2008 00:20
  30. Sir: I'd like some documentation on how to get this extension running correctly. It would seem from your examples I have it installed correctly - but it does NOT produce any results. Is there a manual or ??? Val

  34. how can i modify the display position of the list of articles. now the plugin is shown under the articles, can i modify it to somewhere else? thx

    Penny on 14 February 2009 13:27
  35. Hi there, great plugin. Does this plugin create a linking page to authors where you can view the articles. because at the moment you can only see author articles when you are in the article? Thanks

    Cemal on 25 February 2009 13:33
  36. Hello Cemal, This plugin does not support such a feature. For that you need to have a component. Plugins can not create new pages. You might take a look at Joomunity or Community Builder or something like that. Hope that helps Regards Ercan

    Ercan on 26 February 2009 22:46
  37. can we modify the display position of the plugin. now the plugin is shown under the articles, can we modify it to above ? thank you

    ededi on 04 March 2009 02:12
  38. @edebi, Try changing onAfterDisplayContent to onBeforeDisplayContent in authordetails.php file. That should do it. I will probably make it configurable in the next release.

    Ercan on 04 March 2009 20:40
  39. I was able to recode the plugin to make it embeddable in content with a simple tag like: {authors} It wasn't easy, though! Check out: www.taipanpublishinggroup.com/invest-in-electricity-infrastructure.html Look for "Also By This Author" There is one glitch I'm trying to work around. The plugin uses the Author Alias when that field is populated. I need to recode the plugin so it only uses the author ID. As an aside, I also made a fully embeddable version of Jomcomment.

    Guille on 18 April 2009 07:06
  44. It would be nice to understand HOW to get this to work. I've installed it and SEE nothing to help understand how to get it working. So - I'll assume I missed it. Can you point out the doc's or instructions? D

    Dumarest on 18 April 2009 07:50
  45. Hey there, nice plugin... is doing pretty much all that I'm after... BUT... is there any way that articles which have been archived can be included in the listings...?

    Steven on 27 April 2009 10:55
  46. I enabled the plugin but no link appear on authors names. how i do that? thanks

    yamen on 03 June 2009 06:46
  47. I installed this plugin and then set the options and activated it. However, nothing seems to happen. In reading the instructions at the top it says to move some layout files to a certain folder. I did and renamed them according to my layout: "articles_js_jamba.php" and "information_js_jamba.php". I'm not sure if this is even needed. What exactly needs to be done? Really looking forward to getting this to work! This is something that has been missing from Joomla for a long time!

  48. Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or modules\mod_columnists\helper.php on line 24 yazar modülünü kurdum ekrana yansıtamadım böyle bir hata ile karşılaştım.. yardımcı olabilirmisiniz...

  51. @edebi, Try changing onAfterDisplayContent to onBeforeDisplayContent in authordetails.php file. That should do it. I will probably make it configurable in the next release. this doesn't work. It still appends the text to the article

    Aaron on 21 June 2009 03:45
  52. Güzel job:-), is there any option for hungarian translation? I wih I could have the text under my articels in my language!

    Menekse on 22 June 2009 08:30
  53. Hi there, it sounds as really nice module. I just miss some additional info. Is it possibe to add a small picture next to the article of every author ? Thank in advace. Guby

  54. Yazarlar köşesinde bulunan yazarları alfabatik olarak listelenmesi ve bu listeden seçilen bir yazarın tüm eski yazılarının listelene bileceği bi eklenti gibi bişe varmıdır????

  55. Hello, Being able to list the other articles by the user, can you display this only on the profile page

    Andrew Stocker on 08 July 2009 16:03
  56. Hi! Thank you for this plugin! Can you please do the same thing as a module, eg the Top 10 according to the author many articles.

    ThankYouMan on 20 July 2009 19:48
  57. I did the translation to brazilian portuguese. Where should I send to??

    Fernando on 27 July 2009 20:06
  58. @Menekse, Thank you. I'm not aware of a Hungarian translation. Sorry. @Guby, It's possible but you need to do some work. You need to create additional layouts and add image logic there. check out the instructions. @sewox, Bildiğim bir bileşen yok. @Andrew, What do you mean by profile page? @ThankYouMan, I think there are modules already doing that. check out http://extensions.joomla.org @Fernando, I took your mail (and responded today) Thank you! I'll add it to the next releases.

    Ercan on 28 July 2009 17:54
  59. Lovely plugin and gave me just what I wanted. However, there is a problem with IE7. The list of other articles shows above the "Show other articles......" text. When I click on the line, the contents show properly formatted and below the "Show other articles......" line, as it should. In Firefox it is fine. How do I solve this? (I do not know JS and I am really badly rushed for time!) Please please do help.

    devi on 22 August 2009 21:54
  60. Hi, I am using Author Details on my site and I really like it, thank you! I have one problem however. I have it set to only show on some sections. This setting works correct but in the "other articles by other" list it links to all the other articles. Is there any way to exclude some sections from here? One of my authors submits articles but also is responsible for the site blog which will be updated twice a day. This means that her content articles will be lost in that "show other articles" list because there will be so many blog postings listed. I do not mind editing the plugin files if you know of a way to do this. Thanks.

    nicolas on 21 January 2010 09:14
  70. Someone asked about making the default option to show instead of hide when displaying the related articles. I have added a fix for the same. Change the line 8 articles_default.php under layouts folder, from this, var articles = new Fx.Slide('otherarticles').hide(); to this, var articles = new Fx.Slide('otherarticles').show();

    Asif Khan on 09 February 2010 16:56
  71. The plugin is great but I have some problems , for some authors, it will not show the "Show Other Articles Of This Author" link under the article in order to list the authors articles. And for some other authors, it will not list ALL his articles, only few of them. I have checked and checked the authors profiles,and the plugin set up, but can not seem to see the reason. Please help. thanks

    Fawzy Farrag on 17 February 2010 04:38
