Wanted to know if it was possible using the author to add a link to take the user directly to the authors user page. Right now as I attempt to apply a link in the properties on the frontend default screen - it says I need to link to foreign, not sure what to do here?

The issue here is that the users info in the sandbox is not accessible as they are pseudo-users.

For the time being at least, you will have to take the id of the user and dynamically create the link yourself in your view/layout. Something like;The way that joomla articles handles this is by creating a link to a contact page for the author as opposed to a 'profile' page - in J2.5 at least.

Anyway, you get the principle... So you can redirect it to any page you like based on the authors user id.

Hope this helps,
