Hello there,
I have 'created_by' as a field to show up in the frontend form screencast.com/t/x4oxujPKG , but it won't show. So how do I get screencast.com/t/m4crvWAwH this field to show up in frontend, in the publishing tab? I am using 2.2.1 of flexi. I am not able to update to flexi 3 at this time.

Thanks so much!

Hello

Fixed it in GitHub (for v3.0.3 minor release)

this may help
in file, form.php
replace:
Code:
<?php $captured['createdby'] = ob_get_clean(); endif; ?>
with:
Code:
<?php $captured['created_by'] = ob_get_clean(); endif; ?>

i understand that you have have hacked some files ?, but you should update to v3 when possible
please plan you

Thanks. Unfortunately that field still does not show up to be able to edit in the frontend. Is there something else I need to do to get it to show?

You can try enabling parameter (item form)
Publication Details
to value ALL

Okay so I changed the form.php back to how it originally was and changed the item form to show ALL details. This did fix it. But when I click the created_by button, it doesn't give me a list of users. It just shows me this: screencast.com/t/PhLNExld Am I missing another setting?

Thanks so much for help!

Hello

tested in v3 with J3 and in this case too,
the user profile is displayed too,

this is different than in backend, in backend a user list is displayed

for editing the field (both frontend and backend) we are using:
Joomla form element: "user"

which in frontend behaves like the above (displays user's profile)

you want to allow frontend user to modify the author/owner, but currently the behaviour is to display/edit user's profile
