I have a customized K2 sub template for one of the categories in my site. I would like to show the author in the tag listings. I added the following to tag.php :

<?php if(empty($this->item->created_by_alias)): ?>
<a rel="author" href="<?php echo $this->item->author->link; ?>"><?php echo $this->item->author->name; ?></a>
<?php else: ?>
<?php echo $item->authorName; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

But its not printing the author.

Same here. Nothing of the following lines work in tag listings:

Help please.

Has anyone figured out how to do this? I also would like to add the author to my tag pages.

Here is the page I am styling up.

I'm trying to get this working as well without much luck. Just had a look at the link to your site and it seems that you managed to get it displaying at some stage.

Would you mind sharing the code/method for how you did it?

Thanks

I'd thought I'd answer my own question in case anyone else is looking for it.

But kudos to Steven, I worked it out from one of your other posts on the forum about how to add Tags themselves to the Tags page.

On line 236 the following needs to be added to the collection of views/tasks on which the Author can be displayed:

|| ($task == 'tag')

inside the last closing bracket.

And then use the standard code to add it to tag.php:
