Author list

[rinka88]

The authors page is implemented in the T4 template out of the box.

If there were such on Astroid, it would be great for news templates

I @rinka88
This is not really an issue, more a discussion. Issues are more for Astroid bugs.
I transfer it to the “Discussions”.

I mark this as an “Enhancement”.

Good Day!

[rinka88]

Thank you. I just didn't know where to take it, so I wrote there. But I'm interested in whether such a template will be implemented. It would be great for news sites where there are many authors.

[rinka88]

By the way, here are his setup instructions. there they included the overrides in the template plugin.

@rinka88 ,
I look fast and if I understand well, this is an Astroid feature that let you display an author block base on the User Astroid “Author Profile” option.

What I know so far:
• If you fill this option the info will appear in all articles made by this user
• If you want to turn it off, the only way I find is by the Article Astroid “Blog Option”

I see no way to control that possibility globally or by Menu items Astroid special option – ”Blog Option” — You have to turn it off at the article level????

So far I see no way to build an “Astroid Multi Profiles page” ??????

Few problems here.....
I test more and come back....

[rinka88]

here we mean not only the Author Profile, and the list of authors-contacts, and when you click on the link, you get the page of the author-contact, where his information and below materials published on his behalf.

@rinka88 , I try to see what is possible with Astroid Author Profile
You probably know more on what should be needed to make that function interesting and useful for user

Can you help define what this function should have to be useful?

This is my rapid overview, random suggestion and remarks
Note: I’m maybe wrong on some points, @rinka88 help me understand.
— It will be interesting to be able to use onboard editor in the ➔ Author About Me field
— No ability to choose a position of the Author info block (Top or bottom of the article)
— No Global configuration to define what we want when creating new articles
— No ability to turn on or off the possibility by Menu Items or by type of articles (like blog)
— No ability to create or inject an Author or Selected or All Authors info block in an article or module
— No link to a content list from a particular in the Authors info block

[rinka88]

when choosing a menu, there is a tab where you can select a page with authors - contacts. On the page with the authors - contacts, when you click on the name, you get to his page, and there his published materials. Such a page would be great for a news site that publishes materials from different authors.

@sonvnn , when you have time, can you look at this to ameliorate what we can do with the “Astroid Author Profile” — Also, maybe, we don’t know how to use it correctly?

[Chacapamac]

@sonvnn
Just adding a bug to the discussion
Trying this Astroid feature (Author Profile) I remove some Social links and try to put new ones in my ➔ Users: Edit Profile ➤ Author Profile and I get this error.

[rinka88]

the error is still visible

[paurray]

Not really a function that I currently need personally. But I think it would be a great feature. (It is one of the reasons that I used Easy Blog/Stackideas for years as they had/have a multi author option.) My 2 cents. Very cool.

[rinka88]

@sonvnn Excuse me, can I ask? Will there be a change in this topic in the next version?

[sonvnn]

This ideas will be available in Astroid 3.

Thank you :)

[rinka88]

Even offers from core joomla 5.
joomla/joomla-cms#41132

I think it's worth considering.

[rinka88]

@sonvnn I still can’t implement what is described in this thread.

[rinka88]

maybe look here for ideas:

[rinka88]

@sonvnn Now all that remains is to fix the error in this section and, if possible, add the override suggested above)

[sonvnn]

Yeah! I will try to play with it after 3.0.15. May be it will be release in 3.0.16. Thank you.

[rinka88]

and don’t forget about this improvement, if possible )

[rinka88]

@sonvnn Don’t forget about this feature :)

[sonvnn]

@rinka88 Actually, You can see this page here https://demo.astroidframe.work/contact
Click to Victoria Lee you can see her articles https://demo.astroidframe.work/contact/victoria-lee
I did it follow joomla/joomla-cms#41132

[rinka88]

It is perfectly. But if you want to display materials with pictures and publication dates, with the name of the category, as I wanted in the original example from Joomlart

[Chacapamac]

Perfect!
