Add author link & author name in Latest Items was created by aik

Hi all!

Please, tell me, how can I add autor name & author link in a template file latest_item.php?

Copy this code

                <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemAuthor')): ?>
                <!-- Item Author -->
                <div class="catItemAuthorBlock" title="Автор поста">
                        <span class="catItemAuthorNew">
                                <?php if(empty($this->item->created_by_alias)): ?>
                                <a rel="author" href="<?php echo $this->item->author->link; ?>"><?php echo $this->item->author->name; ?></a>
                                <?php else: ?>
                                <?php echo $this->item->author->name; ?>
                                <?php endif; ?>

You could try without the if statement. The if statement checks if the parameter is true through the category params. However, in this view the author is not available by default. Therefore, this if statement never runs. So, try the definition like this:

<!-- Item Author -->
  <div class="catItemAuthorBlock">
    <span class="catItemAuthorNew">
      <?php if(empty($this->item->created_by_alias)): ?>
      <a rel="author" href="<?php echo $this->item->author->link; ?>"><?php echo $this->item->author->name; ?></a>
      <?php else: ?>
      <?php echo $this->item->author->name; ?>
      <?php endif; ?>
    </span>
  </div>

First of all triple posting will NOT get your question answered sooner.

Now, if you are using the latest items by user menu type the variable you are looking for is located in latest.php.

A sample code is:

getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first/176077-Author-in-Tag-Listings#176558



PS. you might want to rename the $user variable in the latter snippet to avoid any conflicts.

Hi, Krikor

Thanks for your reply.

I try take the code from this thread (getk2.org/community/New-to-K2-Ask-here-first/176077-Author-in-Tag-Listings#176558)

But I have some problems:

When I paste only this code:

<?php echo  $link = K2HelperRoute::getUserRoute($user->id) ?>

I see a link, but without ID on the end:

My example here: index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&task=user&id=:2013-05-31-16-08-08

You see? No user id after "...task-user&id=:..."

Next problem:

When I add this code:

<?php echo JUser::getInstance($item->created_by)->name; ?>

I don't take any user name, i take only error text:

JUser :: _load: User does not exist

Please do not leave me with this problem!

Hi, all

I find solution for this problem!
Here: www.seoratings.ru/blog/joomla/dobavit-imya-avtora-k-poslednim-materialam-k2-v-joomla-2-5

— find file item.php here: components\com_k2\models
— open in Notepad ++
— find string: 228

Add this parametr: || ($view == 'latest')

And then in template add script

<?php echo $this->item->author->name; ?>
