Hi,
Is there an option to automatically show the author name of articles ?
Thanks

I'm not sure I get your meaning, all entries and static pages have that built in by default. What template are you using? It's possible this has been removed.

The Freshy template indeed doesn't seem to show the author's name in the footer. But we can of course fix that

Open /templates/freshy/entries.tpl in an editor and find this part:

Code: Select all

<small class='postmetadata'>
    {if $entry.has_comments}

Edit it to look like this:

Code: Select all

<small class='postmetadata'>
    {$CONST.POSTED_BY} <a href="{$entry.link_author}">{$entry.author}</a><br />
    {if $entry.has_comments}

This puts the author "byline" right above the comments line which I think makes sense in this particular template. If you want it to be displayed elsewhere, just say so

However, remember that these changes might be overwritten by a possible, yet unlikely updated version of Freshy, so keep a backup of the entries.tpl.
