For sure THE BEST developer I ever met. I found a little bug (very little at all) with J! "search" module, I sent him a message and he replied me in 5 minutes (I'm not joking!) for sending the new release with bug-fixed. On sunday!!!
Thanks a lot for your job. The extension is really great, works well and it's very cool. Very very easy to install.

What can I say this needs to be on Joomlas core.
Thank you so much for a very simple and easy to use plugin.

Couldn't be more pleased, this is exactly what I was looking for. Simple, sleek yet powerful.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot.
Great plugin! Since I have tried a lot of plugins that claimed to have the same features, I may say that this one is the best of all. Finally I found a piece of treasure.
This simple plugin works perfectly with almost no adjustments. Everything is explained in 4 sentences!
Good work! Keep on doing it!

At first glance of this plugin, I think this is a good idea. But after test, I feel disppointed.
My Joomla 1.5.14 was installed in a subfolder to www root, then I noticed that the frontend author name was NOT converted to a link, but the link was output as plain text instead of HTML.
When I enable the Joomla SEF, I found another bug: the URL for the author page was wrong, it used the itemID as the document name in URL, which should be the Title Alias along with the itemID.
Hope the author will continue to improve this plugin. Thanks.

For the first problem please read the homepage carefully. there's a patch.
And for the second if the first solved then sure i'll use the itemID to fix the bug.
Thanks
Great plugin!!! Just did what I wanted. My site treats articles as books. So I wanted to show the author name and link below each book's title. This plugin did exactly that, although through a trick.
But it solved my problem anyhow!!!!
I was even able to modify it and include the publisher name in the list of authors.
