How to show author only on article pages?

Buldre

Related to the above questions, I also want to know how I in articles can display the text "Written by" (author). This is shown with the default template for Joomla, but not with the Ja Magz II, although it is a necessity for a news template.

You can add this custom css:

.com_content .t3-content .article-aside .article-info dd.createdby {display: none;}
.com_content.view-article .t3-content .article-aside .article-info dd.createdby {display: inline-block!important;}

into the file: /templates/ja_magz_ii/css/custom.css (Create this file if it doesn't exist)

Thanks, it works!

I also have a related question. The text "Written by" does not appear in the articles, may this be due to settings or missing settings in the template? And how can I get this included as text before the author's name?

Would you mind sharing the admin account of your site? and send me the URL of page you want to show that text, I will check for you.

Sorry, but I can't relay login to the production page. But see my demo page where the problem is identical.

The text from COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY is displayed with mouse pointers over author names, but not as fixed text in front of the author name in the article.

I want the text TPL_COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY to appear before the author name, as it does with the Joomla default template.

You can download this zip file >> unzip and copy the 'author.php' file inside into this directory:

/templates/ja_magz_ii/html/layouts/joomla/content/info_block/

I added the language text: TPL_COM_CONTENT_WRITTEN_BY to this file so you can simply add the translation for this text like this: https://prnt.sc/teqdc3

Thank you very much, it works with that file.

Back to the author's name, it turns out that it appears in uppercase when the name is linked to a contact form, but in lowercase when I turn off linking to a contact form. I want the author name to appear in lower case even when it's linked to a contact form. Is this possible?

Hi Buldre

I can't replicate this at my end. Could you setup on your site so I can take a look?

I have now set this up on the demo page, with a link from author to contact.

Without link to the contact form, lowercase letters:

With a link to the contact form, the text is automatically displayed in uppercase:

You can try with this custom css:

.article-info .createdby a {
text-transform: unset;
}
