Hi!
It would be nice to have an Articles User Info Plugin. This would work this way:
At the end or at the bottom of each article, it would have an area with information about the Author (user who wrote or published the article), like Name, avatar, links to his/her social networks (with social network icons to make the layout more interesting), a short description, e-mail or any other relevant information.
This is very useful for sites that have more than one author to write articles, giving a more professional approach.
I know how to display these info using the Plugin Content, but I don't know how to make it appear on every article automatically without the need of the user's interaction.
There is a plugin that does it already, but it collects information from different places and the user plugin (provided by Auythor Info Box) makes redundant information in the user profile. You can have a look here: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/news-display/content-infos/authors/20830
Regards.

In this example I have load the avatar and name, you can load all fields you want (like gender,about,etc...)
for link to user profile page you can use this link
This function add the author info in article page and in category page, if you want to use different layout you can use this code:
We do not develop this because the standard fields are only avatar and name, and this not fit all customer. But if you have any problem, we can help you.

The problem of COM_USERS_PROFILE_VALUE_... is a bug, we will resolve in next release, anyway the patch is here: https://www.easy-profile.com/support/removing-the-no-information-entered-on-profile.html#reply-2768
For social icon you add something like this:
UPDATE FOR SOCIALNETWORK: we will add navigation by key arrow on gallery. this is very simple and I decided to add it immediately. Some day to new release.
For social icon you add something like this:
if(!empty($user->facebook_link_aliasfield)) $html[]='<a target="_blank" href="'.$user->facebook_link_aliasfield.'"><img src="/facebookicon" /></a>';
if(!empty($user->twitter_link_aliasfield)) $html[]='<a target="_blank" href="'.$user->twitter_link_aliasfield.'"><img src="/twittericon" /></a>';
