hi!

on the site i have magazine installed, i also get the "about the author" box even for static content items, which are not part of any magazine.
any way to remove it?

thanks!

Same problem here -- I have the magazine set to *not* be the default homepage and I'm displaying a piece of static content on my homepage that's not registered in the magazine component at all -- yet the "about the author" block shows up at the bottom (empty -- would be nice if it checked that there was something to say about the author before it spawns the element).

I even went in and specifically disabled that particular author from the author's list in the magazine component -- but the "about" block still shows up.

Combine this with the fact that many of us appear to want to be able to move the "author" block up to the right (in a module, if possible), and there's definitely something to work on...

We're looking into this problem. It would help if you can post a ticket so that our programmers can see it live.

Hi,
The problem was solved.
It was in mos_magazine.php page from our mambot mos_magazine
As soon posible a new mambot version of magazine component will be released.
Thanks,
