Author Bio does not show up in article or with author name

« on: March 31, 2008, 06:50:59 PM »

So far, everything has worked perfectly, except the author bio feature. I have only one bio so far; if you click on the author name the picture shows up but not the bio text. If you click on the general "view all authors" link, however, both the picture and accompanying text are visible.

Also, isn't the bio supposed to show up at the end of an article if you select the display bio information option with an article?

Thanks, this is swell software.

Add a description on "Full Bio" and let me know if the problem persists.
Best regards,

Thanks for the feedback. I did as you asked and it solved half my problem. The full bio text now shows up when you select the author's name in the left column. Previously, it showed up only when you selected the "view all authors" link. That part is fixed.

The half of the problem that remains is that the bio doesn't appear on the article page. The article is clearly labeled with his by-line, so I know it is associated with him. I double checked my selections on the author's page, and I have indeed chosen "yes" in the "Show Mini Profile On Article Page" selection.

Ideas?

If it helps, the article can be accessed at www.autofixworld.com under the Magazine menu listing; article name is Pointless Porsche.

We have a fix. I have received assistance from both the forum and tech assistance, and the combination did the trick.

For those who may experience the same problems, here are the fixes:

1) When adding text to a bio, if you don't add the text in the "full" bio window in the text editor, bio text may show up only when you click on "view all authors." Clicking on the author name alone will produce the author photo, but no text.

Apparently, you must have mos_magazine published to have the author bio show up on the same page as the article. I did not have it published since I wasn't sure what it does. The bot description in Mambot details says only that the bot "Adds quotes replacer for the magazine," but offers no further guidance. Who'd a thunk?

Thanks for all the help.
