    • Hi,

      for all you Joomla pros out there, how do I enter the author information that shows at the end of the articles?

      Thanks

    • You can toggle the "Show" "Hide" Author Name under Global Configuration -> Content

    • The only problem with that is that doesn't show an author's biography. Instead, here's what I'm using - its crude but gets the job done.
      #article #bio {
 
     margin: em 0;
 
}
 
#bio {
 
     padding: 0;
     background: #ffffff;
     border: none;
     overflow: hidden;
 
}
 
#bio p {
 
     margin: 0 14px 1em 128px;
 
}
 
#bio img {
 
     float: left;
     display: inline;
     clear: left;
     margin: 7px 14px 7px;
 
}
 
p#bio {
 
     margin: 0;
 
}
 
.authorbio {
 
     color: #444444
     
}
      <div id="bio"><img src="#" alt="" width="100" />
<p class="authorbio">
<!-- Enter Bio Here -->
</p>
</div>

      That's cool and all but there's a problem - who in the world would make their authors put that in at the end? Its a pain in the but - especially when they don't know much about HTML. Thus, I use the mosSnippet component so they only have to put this:
      {snippet AuthorName}

      With their name replacing "AuthorName."

    • Can the solution above be included in a rokcandy macro?? Anyone care to demonstrate how this would work? I need to have guest blogger bios and am wrestling with it. I use super blogger and cant seem to get this working.
