Hello,

when i insert a Text inside the Autor Alias Field, then this content is not aligned to the original autor.
The autor section bellow the content then is empty.

Is this a wished functionality?

Using with PHP 7.0 and Joomla 3.8.4 current K2

Hello,

Is there a link to this issue?

Yes,

just have a look on this article:
all4joomla.org/en/joomla-extensions/test-2-2-2

The username was Tester, the Autor-Alias is only Test.
As you can see bellow the article there is no author assign. In the other ones is here the autor.

Also when i´m logged in with Tester and go to MyPage, i can´t find my article. Only when a superuser removes the Autor-Alias this article is again avaliable for me in frontend.

You can test it also on yourself. Just register an user, wait for activation and create an article without Autor-Alias.
Then try to change the Autor-Alias to another and its hidden for you.

Hello,

The item produces a 404 issue.
Meanwhile, try using the default template to make sure that this is not a template override issue.

Sorry, removed it from my solved deleting post...
Now i added with a user following article: all4joomla.org/en/joomla-extensions/authoring-content/testcontent

I filled the Autor Alias field with "test".
Now the content is not aligned to the user. He can´t edit it in frontend. The Mypage (mydashboard) redirects to homepage as when no content is aligned to user.

Also with protostar template.

You can reproduce it, when registering an account, wait for my activation and then add an article, without Autor Alias. Go to mypage and you see your article to edit.
Then change the autor alias to something else and see on "mypage" that the content is gone away. Then i (superadmin) have to remove the autor alias and then it works again.

Hello,
some news here?

Hello,

This looks like a template override issue. Some unclosed HTML tags probably.
Have you contacted the template's developer about this issue?

Hello Krikor,

sorry but a Template Switch to Protostar or Beez have same results, that on "MyPage" the Content is not available if another Author Name is filled.

Hello,

the problem exists already, is there a solution?
Template switching did not solve it...

I believe this is normal behavior, it will show the item author's name and link to the author's profile when the author alias field is empty. If you typed another name in the alias field, it will show that name instead of the author's name.

Hello Kannan,
There were unclosed HTML tags within the items as well. If you leave stray <div> tags, then the layout will break.

Yes agreed, but i believe he is asking about the author alias behavior when filled in and not left empty.

Ok, then I must have mixed up the posts, it happens from time to time :)

Hello,
Kannan understood me right. When the Alias Author is empty, all works. Every Author can edit their articles.
But when this field is filled with xyz the complete Article disapears from the Authors Edit-View and its only from Superadmin in Backend possible to edit.
I think this is an error, because normally in frontend editing the normal users don´t know about the names from other Authors.
One Article is always set to one basic Author. Only a Superadmin should switch this, not a Author!

Hope you find a solution, that i can insert in Frontend another Author to show and be further able to edit my contents.

If you are using an alias, you are automatically assigning the item to another author.
Since the author is changed, the item will not appear in the original author's page.
The alias field treats the item as if it was created by another author.

Ah okay. Is it possible to deactivate this option/field in frontend?

Hello,

You can override the itemform.php file - getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates or you can use CSS and display: none in order to hide it.
