Leave this field in the 'article' entity. It will be used as the 'author alias', when connected to 'users'.

It is not needed as it is added from Users automatically. If you do php installation/demo.php and open http://joomla.box/?id=1&entity=article, then you will see the author field.

Imagine the user component not being installed. The article needs an author field anyway. So just re-use it.

In our case, the author field is not a text field but a user relation. So it would be a wrong declaration. I mean it can also be that no user extension is installed at all (that's probably never going to happen) and that the articles are flat files with no author.

In conjunction with a user component, the article's author field becomes the author alias, we know from current com_content, which is a text field.

But then this fields needs to be renamed to author_alias.

That happend, because clean-base was turned into master. Please redo (re-open, if possible) the PR against master branch. Sorry for the inconvenience. |
Basic user extension which gets the logged in user from the request. PR is connected to #98.
