I've recently been using the archive module to display my bloggers. What I've recently found out with templating the module is I can't pass [USERID] or [AUTHORID] into a hyperlink. [AUTHORFULLNAME] works fine but also displays the user full name.
I'm trying to add a photo from an external profile module to display with the user name by passing in a user token. Anyone have any ideas on this? Anyone have a working example? Or could you add this feature Scott? |

Actually, I went to add this in, there is an [AUTHORID] token already. This is available in listing.item and view.item
Where are you trying to use it? A complete list of tokens can be found here |

Scott,
I've applied a custom template for the Archive Module displaying authors. The archive module has 3 settings. View by date, category, or author. If I remember right. Each display would be setup by a default display template, or a custom template added under module settings.
I'm doing this under the Module settings or Module display settings. Not sure as I'm out of town and have no access to my dev. I'll be getting back over the weekend and will double check on this. |

You got it! I just went back and double checked on these tokens and they don't work. I have not checked the latest release though. Has they been added by any chance? I'll install the latest release in a couple days....... |

| Can you try the latest release? It should have [AUTHORID] in it. |

Works Great Scott!
Now with [AUTHORID] exposed, this should allow for any other modules that have a user photo to display in the "Archives Module". I currently tested this with Rodneys ST userprofile module and works great.
Thanks, and I hope others find this just as useful............. |

How do you get the photo displayed given AUTHORID?
Also, since this site is using ActiveForums, is there a way to use the UserProfile photo in ActiveForums? (I realize that I'm asking this in absolutely the wrong place, but ... you guys seem to know what you're talking about ...) |

What I've done in the "NA Archives Module" is :
1. Set module to "Author Mode"
2. Change layout to "Custom"
3. Enter my own html
Add something like this:
< div style="float:left; padding:2px" >< a href="[LINK]" >< img src="/DesktopModules/Smart-Thinker%20-%20UserProfile/Profile.ashx?id=[AUTHORID]" alt="[AUTHORDISPLAYNAME]" width="35" border="0" / >< /a >< /div >
< div style="float:left; padding:2px" >< a href="[LINK]" class="paLink" >[AUTHORFULLNAME] ([COUNT])
Excluding all the extra spaces in there. and make sure to change your classes for CSS or remove them.....
EDIT NOTE:
You will see I've used both [AUTHORID] and [AUTHORDISPLAYNAME] in the image link. Make sure to use only these tags. [AUTORHDISPLAYNAME] was only used for xhtml purposes. There are other tags that you can use too for display, just remember [AUTHORID] for image dispay with ST UP |

Thanks. That's exactly what I needed.
And if Scott is listening ... I also see that you have a private message link to users here in the forum. How did you accomplish that? |
