thisisdanielle Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Site URL: https://www.levelstory.net Hi there! I am looking to start using the Tudor template on my website for a magazine I create. The template is not live right now but I will paste the demo so you can see what I am talking about. https://tudor-demo.squarespace.com/?nochrome=true In the Tudor template, blog entries show up with a callout circle at the bottom center and the date appears within the circle. I really love the design but what I would love more is to replace that date with the image of the author who wrote the post. Does anyone know any code that code/css that could accomplish this? It would be much more helpful since my website features articles from the magazine and they all get posted at the same time, making the date somewhat useless...at least on display for people surfing the site. Thanks for you help! I saw a question somewhat similar to this posted on here so this might help with things as well... Link to comment

This isn't something that you can achieve with some CSS or with a feature of the Skye-family template (Tudor is part of the Skye-family) or with some CSS. However, it could be achieved with some custom-written JavaScript. The Blog Option tweak "Promoted Meta" would need to be set to "Author" (within Site Styles) so that the script could determine the author of each post. It would then read the author details of each post and display the correct image. If this helps you, please click "Like" below ⬇️ Me: I'm Paul, a SQSP user for >18 yrs & Circle Leader since 2017.
