Hi all ;)

I'm planning to use drupal for a journal like site. I have accomplished most of my todos, but this one gives my some headaches.

I need to display information about the author right in the full view of a story. I don't need it for pages, blog entries and so on, just for stories.

This should look like it does over at Boxes and Arrow. Look at the bottom of an article, and you will see a little 'box' with some text about the author.

The content of the box should come from the 'biography' part of the authors profile, perhaps concatenated with her 'interests'.

How would I do this? Which module_hooks strings do I have to pull?

Regards, Sascha

If you install flexinode you can define your own metadata. Such as author insformation. Flexinode also offers you the posibility to change the look and feel of those fields.

Cool stuff for sure, but doesnt solve my problem. Or is there a way I could connect an existing profile field to a flexinode field?

as a quick fix, i wonder if you could easily modify xtemplate.theme to pull the bio data for an author and subsitute it or include with the avatar since the avatar is already themeable?
