What might work would be to add an attribute to the tags so you could specify the name type...something like: [author display='nicename']</p> <p>BB </p> http://smashly.net/community/topic/author-tag-not-linked#post-789 Fri, 26 Feb 2010 08:03:33 +0000 jonh_mh 789@http://smashly.net/community/ <p>Hi Byron, again thanks for your answer. </p> <p>One suggestion for the matter. Right now seems that you have 3 tags doing the same thing [user_name], [contributor] and [author]. So if you have [author] just calling the user_login it would still have 2 tags left for display reasons. I think this should work fine so people could chose between getting user_name or display, nicename. :) </p> http://smashly.net/community/topic/author-tag-not-linked#post-783 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 14:01:43 +0000 byron 783@http://smashly.net/community/ <p>Jon,</p> <p>You're correct...right now it tries to use nicename (I think) and then if it can't find that, it starts going through the others. I'll try to work a solution, but it will have to be down the road a bit as I'm working on some other items.</p> <p>BB </p> http://smashly.net/community/topic/author-tag-not-linked#post-782 Thu, 25 Feb 2010 12:59:09 +0000 jonh_mh 782@http://smashly.net/community/ <p>Hey Byron. Thanks for adding [author] to the layout editor! But a little doubt showed up... </p> <p>you wrote "* Added [author] tag to Custom Layouts - tag will display the image contributor's login or nice name. Allows you to build your own links to an author page or other uses."</p> <p>How can I chose between login or nicename using the [author] tag? </p> <p>I saw on the php file that [author] was associated with user_login, user_nicename and display-name so I just deleted the last 2 options and it worked to get the user_login, but if i keep doing that I will have to change every time that has an update...not good idea! Thanks. </p> http://smashly.net/community/topic/author-tag-not-linked#post-752 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 15:41:19 +0000 byron 752@http://smashly.net/community/ <p>It's in there...look for [author] in next release. </p> http://smashly.net/community/topic/author-tag-not-linked#post-751 Sat, 13 Feb 2010 07:57:20 +0000 jonh_mh 751@http://smashly.net/community/ <p>Thanks, that would be great! </p> http://smashly.net/community/topic/author-tag-not-linked#post-748 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:29:05 +0000 byron 748@http://smashly.net/community/ <p>Jon,</p> <p>I there's not a tag for that in custom layouts at this time...I'll see if I can add to next release.</p> <p>BB </p> http://smashly.net/community/topic/author-tag-not-linked#post-747 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 12:07:26 +0000 jonh_mh 747@http://smashly.net/community/ <p>Hi. Byron I am trying to add an image link, as it has on St.louie linking to "Post", but instead I want to link to the authors page.</p> <p>Is there a tag that I can use that has the authors username or login_name that is not linked as the [author_link] tag, so i can build myself the link to <a href="http://www.myblog.com/author/author_name?" rel="nofollow">http://www.myblog.com/author/author_name?</a> Thnks. </p>
