I want to show author alias in home page’s JA news pro. but if there is no Alias I would like to show Creator’s name. not ‘JUser’

I caheged this line in file:in modulesmod_janewstmplblog_item.php

<span class="createby"><?php echo $row->creator;?></span>
to

<span class="createby"><?php echo $row->created_by_alias;?></span>

i got only Alias. but some articles does not have Alias. so I want to show Creator in these situations

note: iam using Joomla1.6.3 , JA TELINE IV

Hi,

To display alias and in case of alias not being there, to display creator name, you can use following code..

<blockquote><php if ($row->created_by_alias) { ?>
<span class=”createby”><?php echo $row->created_by_alias;?></span>
<?php } else { ?>
<span class=”createby”><?php echo $row->creator;?></span>
<?php } ?></blockquote>

Hi,

I cannot get this right.

What do I change exactly and where to add the code.

This is my php code.

would anyone please guide me here!

Hi iguinee,

In the php code you have, there is this code <blockquote><?php if ($showcreator) : ?>
<span class=”createby”><?php echo $row->creator;?></span>
<?php endif; ?> </blockquote>

If you replace above code with the code below then it will display Creator alias and in case of alias not being there, it will display creator’s name. if ($showcreator) condition is kept as it is so that the creator name / alias will be displayed only when the param in articles / menu options is set to display the name.
<blockquote><?php if ($showcreator) : ?>
<php if ($row->created_by_alias) { ?>
<span class=”createby”><?php echo $row->created_by_alias;?></span>
<?php } else { ?>
<span class=”createby”><?php echo $row->creator;?></span>
<?php } ?>
<?php endif; ?></blockquote>

Hi iguinee,

I have implemented the code I had suggested you in yourblog_item.php file. Now if you specify ‘Created By Alias’ for some article, it will be shown in your JA News Pro module. But if you dont specify creator alias, like it is for all articles right now, then JUser showing up as a creator. I am not sure why JUser is showing up instead of creator’s username.. I am trying to find it out and will get back to you on the same..

Hello Himangi

Thank you for your help. I believe the problem persists still and I will wait to hear from you again.

Also, I have been struggling with JA Top Panel. Please see attached image.

Thank you for your continued support.

Hi,

Your Top panel module is working fine now. I have added <block name=”top-panel” type=”modules” style=”raw” main-inner=”1″>top</block> this new position at the top in your default layout.
I have published the JA Top Panel module in the newly created top position and modules published at user12 position are being displayed in this Top Panel module. If you click on Top Panel text from frontend, you will see the module content loaded in it..

The only issue right now is that the top panel is showing up quite below the topbar. This is happening because there is some content published :
# Contact
# Ajouter Votre Feedback
# Tous les Feedbacks
etc. If you remove this then your Top Panel link will go up..

Please check this and let me know if it’s fine. Also tell me the ticket id, you have raised for this top panel issue, so that I can close the ticket.
