I'm trying to display a list of all the authors on the site. The K2 Tools allows you to do this but doesn't display the plugin authors user extended fields. How can I display a list of authors with their descriptions and the user extended fields displayed?

I am trying to do a similar thing. Basically i just want the author description to appear in the sidebar along with the avatar and title

I took a look at the modules > k2 tools > tmpl > authors.php file.

I tried inserting:

<?php echo $author->description; ?>


after this (line 25/26):

<a class="abAuthorName" rel="author" href="<?php echo $author->link; ?>">
<?php echo $author->name; ?>

however this didnt seem to yield any results. My php is kinda crappy though so not sure if this is the right way to do it, however it seemed that in the helper.php file, there is a variable stored for the user called 'description'.



Im currently getting round it by using a custom html module with the two authors info in it, however this isnt going to be as dynamic when more authors get added to the blog.

Any help woul dbe greatly appreciated!

Daniel did you ever figure out anything on this? I'm still stuck.

Hi yaksushi,
How did you manage to have a list of authors?
I'd appreciate if you can help me with that.

Thanks. :)
