The alias is something i need. I have several users/investigators that form a group/institution. Each of them will publish articles in the frontpage, but the institution name has to be shown instead of each of their user names :-(
however, the link of the Alias still has the joomla user id in it. I mean, the URL that it points to is the same as if an Alias is not used and the username is is shown instead.
i donŽt understand then what happens to the smf_info plugin that it gets confused. The Alias is only set in the Joomla jos_content for that specific content item, not for the user, so it shouldnŽt affect the plugin.
excuse me for insisting, but i want to understand it, i am a bit confused. Thanks, NiCo
read again what I said. SMF db knows nothing about a joomla user id. Joomla knows nothing about the SMF user id. They are not the same. The only thing that is the same is the username. And in this case, CB is sending the alias as the username. That is why the smf profile plugin cannot find the smf information because there is no such username.
i just finished updating to CB 1.0.2 and i also updated to latest version of cb_authorbot (1.02) and the magic happens. Now clicking on the Alias link in the "Written by...." below the content title, shows the correct profile

Just a heads-up since you're using the CB authorbot. There's a hack on the authorbot over at joomlapolis that adds the author's avatar thumbnail beside the author's name on the content. Cool feature, thought you'd like that

i am planning on starting my site online without the avatars for users, and once the community grows a little bit i will enable that option. When i do that, iŽll definetely be interested in that cb_authorbot hack you mentioned.
Replace your comprofiler/plugin/user/plug_smfposts/smf_posts.php with this uploaded file.
Note: only super admin and owner can see subscribed topics/boards.
i have tried the modification in the latest version of the plugin but there is a lot of modified code now...it looks a lot different(i guess improved by Wolverine)
i guessed the piece of code where i could try the same thing and modified it manually:

If I have installed the plugins in the package of JSMF 2.0 RC3, do I still need to 'upgrade' to the plugins attached to the first post in this thread??
I know this kind of sounds st$p$d, but I saw the version (2.1) of the plugins in the first post looks higher than those in the JSMF 2.0 RC3 package. In addition, JSMF 2.0 rc3 was released later than the first post. right???
thanks
