hello

I wondering if you plan to let us change a bit the way of how this plugin work. In fact in my case instead to display the username of the article author, I would like display a simple text like "Click here for more infos".

I tried to edit the file cbauthorbot.php and to replace "formatname" (who is present 3 time in the code) with "cb_mycustomdelimeter". Then I created the field cb_mycustomdelimeter with inside "Click here for more infos" and I can now display this text instead username. However the link to CB profile is now broken. :unsure:

:blush:

Of course is not the correct method.. Can you help me with that please ?

thank

I use Joomla 3.3.6 - CB 2.0.4 - CBSubs 4 - Several Incubator plugins

It's designed to replace the name display with the formatname field (userlist display so is clickable). Nothing more. Nothing less. No, I've zero plans to extend it further. You're welcome to edit it though. Sorry, I can not help you with core edits.
