Hi Guys,
I want to hide the link to the authors profile. Or even better: I want to hide the link to authors profile if they have set their profile to private. How can I do that in EasyBlog 5?

cheers
Hi Farid Rostami ,

You can disable from your backend > Easyblog > category > select which category you would like to hide author profile link > Post Actions > Show Post Author && Show Author Box - NO

And if you would like to hide the author link from your blog frontpage, you have go to your backend > menu > menu item > find this menu type menu "EasyBlog ยป (Posts) Frontpage" > Click Post tab > Show Post Author - NO

Hope this help.

Hi Arlex,
Thank you for your reply. That option hides everything which is related to the author. I just want to disable/hide the link to the authors joomsocial profile.

regards

hi Farid Rostami,

Sorry for late reply to this,

By right, if you change this avatar integration to use "default", when the user click on the author profile, it will use back Easyblog user profile link instead of Jomsocial profile link.

If I'm still getting wrong your meaning, can you provide us some screenshot which part of author profile link you would like to hide it?

if you are pointing this part of profile link -> http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-06-29_1513.png
You can modify on this file -> JoomlaFolder\components\com_easyblog\themes\wireframe\blogs\entry\author.php

I think he meant to disable the "author name hyperlink" where it takes you to the author profile page, so the author name still displayed but without a link, I was looking for the same option, I managed to do that with CSS code override:
div#fd.eb .eb-post-author {
pointer-events: none;
}

I if there is a better way, please let us know..

Thanks,

Hey Helal,

Hm, not really sure why you need this but thanks for sharing the nifty trick with CSS. I didn't know that it was possible to disable hyperlinks using css. Pretty cool!

What Helal said answered my question. The solution provided by the support desk hides everything indeed, and that is not what want. I just want to disable the option for the users to be able to follow to the Jomsocial page, which results in "no privilege to show". I would say that would be nice request on the whish-list.

Hello Mark,
actually I am building a website that has only one author, I spent some time categorizing and styling; with that Hyperlink, one click on the author name will bring all the blogs in one single page which is not the way I want.

Farid, another way to do it, is to edit the file style.min.css for the theme you are using, however, you might have to that after every update.

Hey Farid,

I believe Helal suggested that was better and quick solution for your special case.

May i know your current site is it http://www.fillupmyluggage.com/ , if yes, you can apply this following css code in your current template file JoomlaFolder/templates/purity_iii/css/custom.css

div#fd.eb .eb-author-name,
div#fd.eb .eb-meta-author,
div#fd.eb .eb-post-author {
pointer-events: none !important;
}


Hope this helps.

By the way thanks for your sharing Helal
