So to Show an author profile, you need to:A) have a registered User to set the 'Created by' to (even if the author is just a dummy registration that's not putting the stories up)
B) NOT use the author alias filed or the author info on the articles and author link will not work (no matter how you've configured it).

Now that's fine, I can live with that but WHY if author alias IS used, does it put a link on it to go to home? Wouldn't it make more sense - If your not going to allow it to go to a profile then don't have a link on it at all?


I love K2 and all but it's these little nit picky things that grind my gears (end rant). Here's what I think is needed to make it a further outstanding CMS.

•More flexibility on the authors/author alias usage (parameter - if using alias, link to author set up but use alias name for show)
•Video - option to use main uploaded image as a video thumbnail parameter
•Video - more flexible options to "upgrade" the player or at least offer a pay for pro version that gives us the plug-ins needed
•RSS listing of the feeds created from your content with the option to 'swap' out with the likes of Feedburner (or gives us stats)
•Ability to add extra fields with a position call so they can be added individually to the template, and to show no label (say I wanted a sub heading on an article to go under the main title)
• Better SEF URL system integration (404sef and others) - in 404sef I can choose joomla content to put google News IDs on but not K2 content

These would make it a better all around system. I've waited a year to the point of believing it is usable (and now it is) and can't wiat to see what the next version brings to the table.
