Hi berprado

For the case, please open modulesmod_janews2tmplblog_item.php file, at about line 59, find following code section:


<?php if ($showcreater) : ?>
<span class="createby"><?php echo $row->creater;?></span>
<?php endif; ?>


and change to:


<?php if ($showcreater) : ?>
<span class="createby"><?php echo $row->created_by_alias;?></span>
<?php endif; ?>

with ja news module, please open modulesmod_janewstmplblog_item.php file, at about line 50:


<?php if ($showcreater) : ?>
<span class="createby"><?php echo $row->creater;?></span><?php if ($showdate) : ?> - <?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>


and change to:


<?php if ($showcreater) : ?>
<span class="createby"><?php echo $row->created_by_alias;?></span><?php if ($showdate) : ?> - <?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Yes, now it shows the author alias, great. How about showing the author alias on the ja_newsfp module???? Since i use teline for a news website i find very important to mention the source of the news and i use the author_alias to do so.
Thanks

Hi berprado

with this module, we don’t support the author name. You can open files in tmpl folder and add this code

I am sorry for not being of much help in the case.
