NEW J!1.5 Author2CBProfile plugin

NEW J!1.5 Author2CBProfile plugin was created by zakx
Hi,

I couldn't find a CB 1.2 compatible version of the CB Author plugin, so I wrote a J!1.5 native plugin which links the author's byline at the top to their CB profile.

It works fine, but is listed as alpha as there is an optional very trivial 1 line edit to a core file.

If you don't do the edit, you'll get the author's name also appearing before the "Edit Item" icon when you log in to the front end as an editor or above.

The edit just comments out a line that adds the author name to the edit icon tooltip (i.e. the line doesn't add any functionality), so will not affect the functioning of your site.

If anyone has a workaround for this, please let me know and I'll update the file on the Joomlacode site.

You can get it at joomlacode.org/gf/project/zakauthor2cb/frs/

Thanks so much, zakz!

...Could one of the Community Builder developers take a look at this work and give their opinion?

You're welcome! I couldn't find what I was looking for, so I assumed there would be other people in the same situation. It's just my little bit to help others out.
