====================

[](#contao-author-bundle)

Show additional author information on a reader page

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

`composer require xirdion/contao-author-bundle`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

- Create a user
- Add author data to the user (description, image etc.)
- Create a frontend module "author" and set the scope (News, Events, FAQ)
- Insert the module on a reader page (e.g. above a news-reader-module)
- For news entries there is the possibility to show the author within the news-template. For this case you have to provide the image-size for the author image.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- native Contao image support
- [schema.org](https://schema.org/author) author tags
- author data also added to the news-template-object

### News Template

[](#news-template)

The author data is added to the new template. Following properties are available in the template:

- `$this->authorUser` (instance of Contao\\UserModel)
- `$this->authorLinks` (array of links)
- `$this->authorImage` (image object)

The image object could be used this way:

```
$this->insert('picture_default', $this->authorImage->picture);
```
