Search Results for 'author box'

@nicoms91 i did not had to change any thing in the loop-single.php,after no one answer me i went and figure it out on my own,and what i done is enable the author box in my post and make sure the name match the one on my google account and in a week all my errors went away…

Yes, just checked your file and the problem is in the context — you forgot to wrap the new code in a <?php> tag. Hence it’s being treated as HTML. Your whole file should look like this:

<?php
/**
 * The single post loop for post template 1
 **/

if (have_posts()) {
    the_post();

    $td_mod_single = new td_module_1($post);

    //show the breadcrumb
    if (get_post_type($post) == 'post') {
        echo td_page_generator::get_single_breadcrumbs($td_mod_single->title);
    } else {
        echo td_page_generator::get_page_breadcrumbs($td_mod_single->title);
    }
    ?>

    <article id="post-<?php echo $td_mod_single->post->ID;?>" class="<?php echo join(' ', get_post_class());?>" <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope();?>>

I tried to implement as per your instructions. Please check this screenshot it was with the_field.

I don’t know where i am making a mistake. I again changed the code to get_field and it still remains the same. Here you can see it.

Here is the full code of loop-single-1.php in which i am inserting.

<?php
/**
 * The single post loop for post template 1
 **/

if (have_posts()) {
    the_post();

    $td_mod_single = new td_module_1($post);

    //show the breadcrumb
    if (get_post_type($post) == 'post') {
        echo td_page_generator::get_single_breadcrumbs($td_mod_single->title);
    } else {
        echo td_page_generator::get_page_breadcrumbs($td_mod_single->title);
    }
    ?>

    <article id="post-<?php echo $td_mod_single->post->ID;?>" class="<?php echo join(' ', get_post_class());?>" <?php echo $td_mod_single->get_item_scope();?>>

I think the code is not executing. Am i placing it in the wrong way?

OKAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitive update on this topic!

Since I have brand new blog (2 posts!) which I setup this weekend, as a migration of an old static section of business website, to a new folder using WP and Newspaper, I was also having issue with Google+ not grabbing photo+summary, and instead only grabbing my author photo + URL or headline.

So, here’s what I did.

I switched from the full width giant photo (style 4), to style 2, with featured image shown; still same problem.

I switched “show featured image off” and *ALSO* switched off the lightbox feature since I don’t use that — remember Google doesn’t like images which are links as they by default presume them to be ads not featured photos when scraping — and then placed my featured image into both of my new posts, and resaved both.

Viola. Went to share both on Google+ and both of my posts from new blog setup dropped in instantly into G+.

example… works!

https://plus.google.com/102627062589158403110/posts/a39F9Lrpa8t

I am not sure whether it’s the featured images outside of post, since I don’t have problem with that on another site with Newspaper; but I am guessing it’s the lightbox under the post settings being on by default that may be the culprit. So try that FIRST (click to off), and see what happens with your G+ shares.

Wellllllll…. I had trade some posts with RADU on this topic in hopes he might add a custom field on the user page for an author image loaded locally (this can be hacked from the functions.php file; I did this with one of my own responsive themes in 2011 pre-bootstrap which was insane — three column layouts without bootstrap were really a freaking pain for responsive; float right inside a float right … ugh!).

This was on my to do list before I got sick … and was just thinking the same thing 🙂

You would think there would be plugin for this, since really all it takes is adding new field to user meta for each user; then calling that from the theme author box template.

This may be my Labor Day weekend project ! 🙂

example how to on this topic of adding custom user meta
http://justintadlock.com/archives/2009/09/10/adding-and-using-custom-user-profile-fields

in the above case we’d be replacing a twitter field with a user photo field, where we could put in local URL to the user photo (e.g., /uploads/my-name-here_100x100.jpg); then call that in the Newspaper theme.

I didn’t edit the loop_single file but the td_module_blog in /includes/modules/module_modifier/.

I’m still running Newspaper v3.x and not v4 because I didn’t had time to update the theme. I’m running a high traffic site and still don’t have a staging site to update the theme to v4 without interupting traffic :p Anyway, I think the post pages in v4 are still generated by td_module_blog so you should give it a shot!

I don’t know about making custom fields with that plugin, I just followed tagDiv’s recomandations on using that plugin for creating additional custom fields.

When opening td_module_blog.php, look for the line (somewhere around line 600 in my version) that says:

if (empty($hideAuthor)) {

            $buffy .= '<div class="author-box-wrap">';
                $buffy .= '<a itemprop="author" href="' . get_author_posts_url($author_id) . '">' ;
                $buffy .= get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id), '106');
                $buffy .= '</a>';

and add and get_field('customfieldname')

Like this (notice i used ‘show_author’ as custom field name):

if (empty($hideAuthor) and get_field('show_author')) {

            $buffy .= '<div class="author-box-wrap">';
                $buffy .= '<a itemprop="author" href="' . get_author_posts_url($author_id) . '">' ;
                $buffy .= get_avatar(get_the_author_meta('email', $author_id), '106');
                $buffy .= '</a>';

Make sure your theme settings are set to show author. When the custom field for showing author is checked in a certain post the author box will show up. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your help Lucian

You need to create a custom field (I use the Advanced Custom Fields plugin for that) called hide_author or show_author. The name doesn’t really matter. Let’s say you use show_author. The default setting now is that it won’t show the author unless the show_author box is checked when creating a post. By default, no author boxes are shown with this setting, but can be enabled for each post by check the new custom field box.

Hi Marius, This last code is not working on my site. Infact it’s showing like this.

if (!get_field(‘hide_author’)) {

Author Box: Here is the author bos with above code and below code displaying on post page.

}

Some elements in child them won’t over-ride certain custom modules, so to “hack” a new feature into an existing module (not a page template), it requires hacking the parent, unfortunately.

Hi,

I tried to update the td_authors.php in the child theme, but it is not working.

The only way it works is if I edit the file directly in the parent theme. Is there a way to fix this? I don’t like editing the original files.

Cheers!

Steal the position: absolute; from entry-comments-views and give it to your custom class:

header .entry-comments-views {
  position: static !important;
}

.my_avatar_box {
  position: absolute;
  top: auto;
  bottom: 0px;
  right: 0px;
}

Now that’s the one that’s pushed up against the right side and has the text flow naturally inside it. So echo that around both the new statements and the call to get_commentsAndViews:

<?php echo '<div class="my_avatar_box">';?>
<?php echo get_avatar($post->post_author, '16');?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_author();?>
<?php echo $td_mod_single->get_commentsAndViews();?>
<?php echo '</div>';?>

Note that for a cleaner author output, you could do this for the third line instead:

<?php echo '<a itemprop="author" href="' . get_author_posts_url($post->post_author) . '">' . get_the_author_meta('display_name', $post->post_author) . '</a>';?>

Which I just grabbed from the function get_author in the theme files, and dropped the “by” and the dash on either side.

You have to promise me that you’re learning from this experience :p

Hi Lucian,

Thanks for your reply.

The way i added the author box is – http://awesomescreenshot.com/0c53cvqxc2

As each author has his own sidebar, i have just added that to each one, only calling their specific ID.

I see what you mean, when i set a height for that as 493px for example, the whole thing works fine.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot.

For the record, this worked perfectly, thank you!

Not all post templates show the captions. (Style 2 does, style 4 doesn’t, haven’t played around with the others.)

I had this same need so I installed the plugin Advanced Custom Fields, added a metabox for photographers, and manually displayed the data saved there after the author. I found this a bit of a complicated process if you’ve never done anything like it and had to do a lot of reading. I can try to walk you through it if you want.

One easy way might be to try a plugin like Better Image Credits, which can take some credit fields and automatically output it at the top or bottom of your post, or other settings.
