feature request: display author avatar beside article Title

[baijianpeng]

I am using the built-in JA-Purity template for Joomla 1.5.

I hope the Davatar plugin can display the author's avatar just beside the article Title, in the same line, left or right (maybe two options).

Could you please add this feature?

Thanks.

There is no opportunity to do this using standard Joomla functionality. But you can try to realize this with combinations of CSS-styles.
See also this topic.

I had read that topic before post here. I also tried that CSS trick before post this topic. But failed.

At present, I have following string in the parameter field filled by me:

Code: Select all

width=60|height=60

Then I modified to:

Code: Select all

width=60|height=60|style=position: absolute; margin-left: 180px;

But the author avatar still shown at the very left side.

I want to move the author avatar to the same line with the article Title (or the date/time line) because the current look is very bad, the avatar itself occupyed a single line but only need a small space on the left. There leave a big blank space beside the avatar to the right.

If you can't move the avatar to Title position, then, can you make the article text around the avatar with some paddings?

Thanks.

Ok, please visit my blog at:

Just below the creation date you can see my avatar.

I think the position is not the best.

hope you can find better solution.

Thanks.

It's the easiest way. Set Author avatar params to (for eaxample):

Code: Select all

align=right|padding: 0 0 5px 5px; overflow: auto;

Now, let's up the avatar.
Add into /templates/ja_purity/css/template.css line:

Code: Select all

.article-tools { height: 70px; }


Set Author avatar params to

Code: Select all

align=right|style=position: relative; margin: -80px 25px 0 0

Combine and modify parameters for your better layout.

I will introduce this plugin to more other Chinese Joomla users!

Thank you!
