I'd like to be able to add custom fields to the Author's Blog Setting and be able to display the value as you would for the author's website. For example, my bloggers would like to display their phone number and email address along with their website.
Thanks!
Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a public holiday for us here.

Unfortunately that was not possible at this point of time.

What my suggestion is you can add these info (e.g. phone number, email address, website, etc) into biography field or using our Easysocial social network extension to integrate user profile into Easyblog, so you can add custom field for fill in these info in their user profile.

Hope this will help.

Would it be possible to pull the data from another component and display? For example, I could accomplish what I want by displaying the output of certain com_contact fields like email, phone, etc.
Ie: '~/components/com_easyblog/themes/wireframe/authors/default.php'
<?php if ($this->params->get('show_telephone_headings') AND !empty($item->telephone)) : ?>
<?php echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTACT_TELEPHONE_NUMBER', $item->telephone); ?>
<?php endif; ?>


I only have 10-15 users and we have no need or desire for any type of social network but I'm trying to make this as easy as possible for them and integrate as much as possible to avoid multiple extensions.

Thanks!

Hey Thomas,

If you are able to pull these data from the default "profile" extension of Joomla, I believe you could just output these values on the page
