CBAuthorBot Hack - Show CB Avatar in articles

ok,
i was visiting the homepage from ccdog, found it already implemented, browesed through the thread again and found the answer:

In the following code, you can change the line that says "$avatarlink = $mosConfig_live_site.'/images/comprofiler/tn'.$avatar;" and change the path to your thumbnail images.

Going by your example, you would change it to "$avatarlink = $mosConfig_live_site.'/images/comprofiler/tngallery/'.$avatar;"

[code:1]
if ( $avatar ) {
$avatarlink = $mosConfig_live_site.'/images/comprofiler/tn'.$avatar;
$txt = "<a href=\"".sefRelToAbs('index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='.$row->created_by)."\"><img src=\"$avatarlink\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\" class=\"authorimg\" /></a>";
}
[/code:1]

I hope this helps!

Great work thanks

karma - up up and away

I am trying to get this small modification to work and it doesn't. I want to display the username not the real name. Thanks!

Hello, everyone...

It's been a while since I've checked this thread. Sorry about the delay in response.

Now, to answer some questions:

Gabe

...is it possible to get under the avatar the name of the author ???

The short answer is yes, but it'll take some work. I'll look into it.



Manoxtra

Is this like a 'stable' hack? I mean is it 'bugfree´ and/or does it work appropiatly?

I have been using this hack without any problems at LoveLearnLive.com .

How would i go about showing the users, user name NOT real name ?

Step 1: Find the following code:
[code:1]$row->created_by_alias="<a href=\"".sefRelToAbs('index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='.$row->created_by)."\">".($row->created_by_alias!='' ? $row->created_by_alias : $row->author)."</a>";[/code:1]
Step 2: Change it to this:
[code:1]$row->created_by_alias="<a href=\"".sefRelToAbs('index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='.$row->created_by)."\">$row->author</a>";[/code:1]
That should work.
