What I'm trying to achieve is to have a module in the frontpage that
will list the authors alongside their bio's, and linked to their latest
article. I have set a special category that holds all the articles, and that category is what I set K2 module to display from.So, I'm trying to display, additionally to what it is displaying by default, within the K2 module the Author's description (or bio) as it appears on the user.php template page. I thought it would be as easy as copying from user.php the following relevant code into the K2 module template:$user = &JFactory::getUser();<?php if ($this->params->get('userDescription') && isset($this->user->profile->description)): ?>        <p class="userDescription"><?php echo $this->user->profile->description; ?></p>        <?php endif; ?>But end up with nothing. Does anyone have any idea or guidelines that can help me achieve this?Thank you!

See this link and you will find the way to achieve it.
These mod was made for K2v2.1 so probably dont work with actual version but you can check and fix it.

I am so busy know but if i find some time i will try to update it.

Hi olsen, I've installed your modded module and seems to be working fine for me, I'm just customizing it a bit but in all other senses it it exactly what I needed! The only issue that maybe you know how to customize that it doesn't show the "Administrator" author, but only the authors from the specified category. I've double checked that Admin has no articles written under that category but it's still showing.

Thanks!

Nice to know that still working. :)
I cant understand what you mean exactly about showing admin author. Can you explain better??

What I mean is that I have 5 authors, and me who am the Administrator of the site. As the administrator I published some of the articles myself, but I dont want the K2-tools modded module to show this user's articles. Rather, I'd like it to show every other user who is not the Administrator user. Is this more clear?

Thanks!

But this issue its not related with the authors description, is it??.
mod_k2_tools has an option to filter authors by root category, so if you publish your admin articles on different categories and set the correct categories on k2tools it should work.
Otherwise K2 issue related.
Let me know!

Olsen, you were correct, I had written one article as an Administrator within that category. I published it in a different category and now your module works perfect! Thanks for such a quick and easy resolution to a problem that I'd been trying to correct for 2 weeks now.

Cheers!

You wellcome bud!!

Olsen how are you? I'm using the module on my site ecuadorinsensato.com, on the right side, and as you can see it's working wonders, thanks!

If you can see this post, I would like to have your opinion on the following about this module:

I would like to display the newer published items on top and the older on bottom always. Where would I need to edit to make this happen?

Thanks again!

Hi Pablo, i like the way you show authors in your site, would you share with the community the way you did it?
Expecially displaying the last articles' content just below title and author's name...
