| CBAuthorBot Hack |

If you use Community Builder (CB) and the CBAuthorBot (the one that makes the author's name linkable to their CB Profile), then you might be interested in this hack. It enables you to display the author's CB avatar at the top of an article with a link back to his or her CB profile. I originally posted it here on the CB website. You can go there for more information, and to see how other people have modified the hack. Here's the code: <?php /** * CB Link 2 author mambot * @package Community Builder * @subpackage CB Link 2 author mambot * @Copyright (C) MamboJoe * @ All rights reserved * @ Released under GNU/GPL License : http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html * @version $Revision: 1 $ **/ defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' ); $_MAMBOTS->registerFunction( 'onBeforeDisplayContent', 'CBAuthorBot'); function CBAuthorBot (&$row, &$params, $page) { global $database, $mosConfig_live_site; //var_dump($row); $query = "SELECT avatar FROM #__comprofiler WHERE user_id = $row->created_by AND avatarapproved = '1'"; $database->setQuery( $query ); $avatar = $database->loadResult(); $avatarlink = ""; $txt = ""; 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>"; } $row->created_by_alias="<a href=\"".sefRelToAbs('index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='.$row->created_by)."\">".($row->created_by_alias!='' ? $row->created_by_alias : $row->author)."</a>"; $row->text = $txt.$row->text; //return $txt; //<div class=\"authorimg\"></div> //echo $row->created_by_alias; } ?>

Hi Cory!
Is there a way to only show the avatar if "show author" is actually enabled for the menu item? I have a blog section link where i said "show author" and another blog section where i do not want to show authors. So I would need to have the bot check whether "show author" is enabled for a blog category, blog section or content item... how can that be done? could you help me out here? Thanks Fabs 9 report abuse
