Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_author_info
Just installed. Workes great! Thank you so much.
One minor feature request: is it a lot of work to configure the Linklabel for Homepage?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_author_info
The-Exit: Just use the title attribute of the tag:
<code><txp:rss_author_info_url /></code><br/><br/>
Displays a link to the author’s website.
* title – used for the link text and title. defaults to ‘Website’.Last edited by wilshire (2006-01-23 17:52:22)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_author_info
Hi Wilshire,
Is there any way to wrap the Name of the author with a link to their website.
So it would appear like:
<a href=“http://www.authorssite.com”>Authors Name</a>
I know you can add a link title in to < txp:rss_author_info_url /> but I want it so the link title automatically uses the authors nick_name.
Really would help me out.
Cheers

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_author_info
roan – find this in the plugin code:
<code> if(!isset($title)){ $title = “Website”; }</code>
and change it to
<code> if(!isset($title)){ $title = $rss_author_info_hash[$username][“nickname”]; }</code>

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_author_info
I tried twice & still can’t get this working?
Is there any step by step documentation in B-I-G L-E-T-T-E-R-S? lol
I think there are some txp tags getting parsed in the admin “help” & not displaying?
Thanks

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_author_info
Rob,
Probably just need some setting straight. I’ve got this loaded locally and have done the following:
Created a form called rss_author_info which looks like this:
<code>
<txp:rss_author_info username=“xxxxxxx” nickname=“matthew” bio=“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Nullam dapibus dignissim elit. Cras feugiat, quam vel vehicula tempor, ipsum arcu consequat neque, at rhoncus leo ante ut nisl. Pellentesque vitae eros.” url=“http://artiswork.org” imageid=“5” email=“matthew@artiswork.org” />
</code>
Then I added the following to my default article form:
<code>
<div>
<txp:rss_author_info_nickname /><br/>
<txp:rss_author_info_bio /><br/>
<txp:rss_author_info_url /><br/>
<txp:rss_author_info_image /><br/>
<txp:rss_author_info_email />
</div>
</code>
Then I added the following to the page where I want this to show up:
<code>
<txp:output_form form=“rss_author_info” />
</code>
The only output I get is the email link “artiswork” which sends an email to the email I have specified in the admin, but not the one I have set up in rss_author_info.
I assume I am doing something incorrectly. Hopefully you can point me in the right direction, or someone else here can.
Thanks,
Matthew

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_author_info
okay, i figuered out how this plugin works and it is really neat! Now i like (similar to roan above) the authors websites name linked: f. e.
Robert Wetzlmayr
awasteofwords.com
and a awasteofwords.com shold be linked to http://awasteofwords.com
is this somehow possible?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_author_info
I’ve been trying to use this plugin. I’ve installed it and gotten it to work for short periods of time, but then it triggers a 500 internal server error on my site. I tried on a testing server and a live server, and got the same result.
Anyone have any ideas? Is any further development planned for this plugin? Rob, I noticed it is disabled on your site.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] rss_author_info
I have made a separate section for author profiles and have implemented <txp:author link="1" /> on my multi-user site. Thus I lack only one feature — to display a portrait (photo, picture, avatar) next to the author’s name as in this forum. Now I installed txp:rss_author_info plugin successfully, it displays existing portraits, although I do not have all the data required by plugin from every author. The problem and only the question is:
would it possible somehow to ignore insufficient data to avoid errors like this:
Tag error: <txp:rss_author_info_image /> -> Notice: Undefined index: imageid on line 114
The whole complex of tags with empty data like image="" do not help. Should I fake some number or default image instead?

Have. Unlucky, though. The great project, very well integrated into TxP, although it looks still in early beta stage. OK, I will post my problem there, on smd_bio thread soon.
