Wow- lots of activity since I last checked. here's my version, for what it's worth. It's implemented here:
massmees.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=category§ionid=4&id=164&Itemid=540
It's simple: avatar on top, bio below (if available) in box on top left, wrapped by text.
It *should* return either the av, the bio, or both, depending on the user profile. This version requires a CB field "cb_bio" (hardcoded). It would be cool if the choice of field(s) was configurable through parameters. Even better if the whole layout was configurable. Maybe that get into the realm of the module I've read about here...
We use author alias a bunch, so I wrote it to ignore the author if it's the main admin(62).
If you want to hide it from a content item, use the call {!Bio!} or {nobio!} in the item.
Maybe it will help someone...
