  Need some help with this. I want to link the article contributor name to their zikula profile. How do I edit the template to link like that?
  
  Right now it looks like this:
  

  Code

  <span class="news_meta z-sub"><!--[gt text='Submitted']--> <!--[gt text='by %1$s on %2$s' tag1=$info.contributor tag2=$info.briefdatetime]--></span>

  
  
  Thanks!

  I think it is as follows:
  
  

  Code

  <span class="news_meta z-sub"><!--[gt text='Submitted']--> <!--[gt text='by %1$s on %2$s' tag1=$info.contributor|userprofilelink tag2=$info.briefdatetime]--></span>

  
  
  Greetings..

  It didn't work for my setup. I included it in the news_user_index.htm file.
  
  I'm not familiar with the gettext stuff... but I don't see how it can be linked as it is.

  Hi those are the ones predefined in the News code. But you can also use the regular PHP date formatting strings (http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strftime.php) if you use the original datetime variable $info.from that represents the start of publication.
  So %Y for a Four digit representation for the year, etc. The ones you mention above are shorthand notations for the same stuff.
  To explain how this works, see includes/DateUtil.class.php and the pnRender modified system/pnRender/plugins/modifier.pndate_format.php that calls the DateUtil class.
  As an example
  

  Code

  $info.from|pndate_format:'%a, %d %b %Y'
  Saturday, 12 Dec 2009

  
  So you can use the shorthand notations and your own. The shorthand notations are BTW also multilanguage proof, since they can be overridden in the translation of the Core. A date in america usually starts with month/day/year, but in europe a lot of countries use day/month/year, just an example.
  
  
  On the side: News 3.0 (that will be a pure zikula1.3 version) will have some cleanups in that area, where some predefined variables will be removed and the display code will be placed in the template. More clear for users and it removes code that might never be used. Better seperation of functionality and layout/display.

  Hi did you make sure that the templates are re-compiled? So in pnRender and in the Theme settings do a remove compiled templates if necessary. This code like this in several other places in News, so it should be fine.
  What is does is call the pnRender modifier userprofilelink, which turns the contributor username into a link to his profile.

  I am using the code below in the news_block_storiesext_row template to show the avatar of the poster of the message. Since the upgrade to News 2.6.2 the avatar is not shown anymore but the alternative text. Is "$aid" still a valid variable for the user id of the poster?:
  
  

  Code

  <a href="https://www.tariqa.eu/module-Profile-view-uname-<!--[$aid_uname]-->.html"><img src="images/avatar/pers_<!--[$aid|pnvarprepfordisplay]-->.jpg" width="50" title="<!--[$aid_uname]-->" alt="<!--[$aid_uname]-->:" /></a>

  Hi, nope aid as a article variable has been removed. See also the release article in the ExtDB: http://community.zikula.org/module-Extensions-display-ot-component-componentid-29.htm
  

  Quote

  The 2.6.x serie contains database changes: backwards compatibility fields have been removed. This is because of the compatibility with Zikula 1.3. Check your templates for usage of old redundant fields that are not there any more
  (so now use cr_uid instead of aid, from instead of time, contributor instead of informant, hideonindex instead of ihome, disallowcomments instead of withcomm)

  
  
  For compatibility with the upcoming new version of the Zikula Core several redundant DB fields had to be removed. They were only there for backwards compatibility.
  The storiesext block still defines an extra variable aid_uname that still works. Now that you mention it I will make a ticket to maybe change this name in a new version as well, since it refers to a DB field that is not there any more.

  It's not working for me. I've recompiled and cleared all temp files a number of times. Cleared my local cache and even tried it on my rarely used laptop and nothing.
  
  I'm using zikula 1.2.3 and the 2.6.1 news.
  
  I had another issue with the news module where it worked for others but not me - meta description.
  
  ~thanks
