Re: problem with bos_author

Why don’t you use <txp:article /> instead of <txp:article_custom />, like:

<txp:if_section name="author">
<txp:article form="about-us" />
</txp:if_section>

And following:

1. URL-mode?
2. Is your bio-article’s title same as author’s real name?

Cheers!

Re: problem with bos_author

With <txp:article />-tag. <txp:article_custom /> does not show single article. Like I said before.

<txp:if_section name="author">
<txp:article form="about-us" />
</txp:if_section>

Cheers!
