hallo there,

i am trying to change something

in the preview of the facebook share, there is author`s name. how can i change that to author`s username?

thank you very much

Hello George,

The author meta tag isn't generated from K2.
This is a core Joomla! feature.

hallo krikor,

thank you for the information!you saved me time before start to search all files!

have you any idea where i can find it in joomla core?

thank you

www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/joomla-3/metadata/author-meta-tag

Here you go.

You can then set a custom meta with this function
docs.joomla.org/JDocumentHTML/addCustomTag

thank you krikor,

i understand that the first link is to enable the author meta

and the second to write javascript to display what i want.

But where exactly should i write this?

and how am i supposed to bring the username of the author on each page of k2 item? :/ (

thank you

You can get all of the user's info here: docs.joomla.org/Accessing_the_current_user_object

Now override the item.php file and you can build your code based on these links I sent you to display the user's username.

More on overrides can be found here:
getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

hallo krikor,

really thank you for your interest.

i am not sure if there is a misunderstanding about what i mean.
i attach an image to be more specific

of course i have override too many times too many templates but how am i supposed to change the user->name to user-> username?

everything in the item.php for author is about k2 staff and not for joomla core or facebook share..

thank you

Yes, this info is generated from your meta tags.
These tags are being generated from Joomla! not from K2.

You need to write your own script if you want to override Joomla!'s behaviour.

Also by accessing Joomla!'s user object you have access to all the (Joomla!) user's info.

hi krikor,

yes i imagined so.

have you any idea where exactly is there the php file of Joomla! core?

thank you

I am sorry but I do not know.
