Finally, a Joomla! 1.5 and Community Builder 1.2 successor to CB Authorbot.
If you dont already know what authorbot does, it links the authors name in an article to their Community Builder profile.
This release works without any problem, but is listed as alpha as it requires a trivial 1 line edit to a core Joomla file that doesnt affect functionality in any way. Just install, enable, and your author names will be linked to their CB profile page.
If you log in as an editor or above in the frontend (and havent performed the 1 line edit), you will see some oddity before the "Edit Item" icon - this is because the author name is (IMHO) gratuitously placed in a tooltip for the icon, despite it being shown at the top of the article anyway. This doesnt affect functionality - it just looks odd.
If you want to make it go away, just change line 122 in [Joomla base path]/components/com_content/helpers/icon.php from:
$overlib .= $author;
to:
// $overlib .= $author;
(i.e. comment it out) If you are apprehensive about changing a core file, you can omit this step, and public or registered members will have no problems. The odd stuff before the edit icon is only seen by editor members or above, and in any case it doesnt affect functionality.
