Forced author id during element creation was created by François

Hi,

I created a blog to one specific member and I would like that all members can create a new element on this blog.

I using group access to allow creation. That it's OK.

But I need to forced the id author to this specific member to group all new elements in the blog of this specific member.

Can you say me how can I forced the id of the author when the element is created ?

Thanks
François

Hello Francois,

You cannot force the author but you can change the author from the item's form.
You can also use the Joomla! user as an author and specify an author alias (with no link) for your contributing authors.

Tanks Krikor,

I saw that I can change author and alias on the rigth part.

But I disabled this part for all member to be sur that robots change parameters. So I need to use only one Gauthier To ne sure that all items are displayed in the same blog.

Id post in form during item creation must be declared in php file.

Do you know this file? And hop changed it ?

Tanks
François

You can try hardcoding the values in the input fields in the itemform.php 's override.
This will force the author for all the users however.

Hi again,

I override itemform.php but it don't work.

I override this part :

<tr>
											<td align="right" class="key">
												<?php echo JText::_('K2_AUTHOR'); ?>
											</td>
											<td id="k2AuthorOptions">
												<span id="k2Author"><?php echo $this->row->author; ?></span>
												<?php if($this->mainframe->isAdmin() || ($this->mainframe->isSite() && $this->permissions->get('editAll'))): ?>
												<a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe', size: {x: 800, y: 460}}" href="index.php?option=com_k2&amp;view=users&amp;task=element&amp;tmpl=component"><?php echo JText::_('K2_CHANGE'); ?></a>
												<input type="hidden" name="created_by" value="Administrateur" />
												<?php endif; ?> 
											</td>
										</tr>

By this one :

<tr>
											<td align="right" class="key">
												<?php echo JText::_('K2_AUTHOR'); ?>
											</td>
											<td id="k2AuthorOptions">
<span id="k2Author"><?php echo 'Administrateur'?></span>												
<!--<span id="k2Author"><?php echo 
$this->row->author; ?></span>
												 <?php if($this->mainframe->isAdmin() || ($this->mainframe->isSite() && $this->permissions->get('editAll'))): ?>
												<a class="modal" rel="{handler:'iframe', size: {x: 800, y: 460}}" href="index.php?option=com_k2&amp;view=users&amp;task=element&amp;tmpl=component"><?php echo JText::_('K2_CHANGE'); ?></a>
												<input type="hidden" name="created_by" value="Administrateur" />
												<?php endif; ?> -->
											</td>
										</tr>

Author change in the page but not data registration.

I found a JS function (jSelectUser) in ké.js. Is this function define the author ?

Thanks

Not really, but you can add a custom script to add the author once the page loads.
You can also hide it with position absolute and clip so user's can't see it.

You will have to remove the HTML comments of course.
