Modified Authors List Widget With Avatars and Post Count

When i was searching for some good modified widgets i got this widget from www.yabtb.blogspot.in.

This is best for multi author blogs. In multi author blog the profile gadget is very simple looking. There is "avatar" but that is the default blogger logo.

It works on single author blogs, too, and one could customize it to look about the same as the default single author blog profile gadget

How To add?

Add HTML/JavaScript gadget into your blog, and paste the following code there:

<style type="text/css">.author-line {margin: 3px 0;} .author-avatar {vertical-align:middle;} </style><script type="text/javascript">// // Blog authors gadget, works like multi author profile gadget, // but with post counts and avatars, ordered most written first, // // CONFIG: var maxUserNameLength = 42; // 0: don't cut, >4: cut usernames // var txtAuthorLine = '[image] [user] has written [count] [post]'; // can also use [#] (=position) // var sizeAvatar = 20; var cropAvatar = true; // var urlNoAvatar = "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1m3iupnD4l3DU7kK_1eYvWInMfhPWCpTWaGN1O4pzrAGbioXMv_DMGtaW4rNnWIx5x1fwMt7BPD6M7CdVGpD_DWMiUh47RkLr1nxjIAQl-JgYY1sKlEMp573EegF0iOhaIhSvlVNSHDE/"+sizeAvatar+"/avatar_blue_m_96.png"; // http://www.blogger.com/img/avatar_blue_m_96.png resizeable // config end function replaceAuthorVars(text, item, position) { if(!item || !item.author) return text; var author = item.author; var authorUri = ""; if(author.uri && author.uri.$t != "") authorUri = author.uri.$t; var avaimg = urlNoAvatar; if(author.gd$image && author.gd$image.src) avaimg = author.gd$image.src; if(avaimg == "http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif" && urlNoAvatar != "") avaimg = urlNoAvatar; var newsize="s"+sizeAvatar; avaimg = avaimg.replace(/\/s\d\d+-c\//, "/"+newsize+"-c/"); if(cropAvatar) newsize+="-c"; avaimg = avaimg.replace(/\/s\d\d+(-c){0,1}\//, "/"+newsize+"/"); var authorName = author.name.$t; var imgcode = '<img class="author-avatar" height="'+sizeAvatar+'" width="'+sizeAvatar+'" title="'+authorName+'" src="'+avaimg+'" />'; if(authorUri!="") imgcode = '<a href="'+authorUri+'">'+imgcode+'</a>'; if(maxUserNameLength > 3 && authorName.length > maxUserNameLength) authorName = authorName.substr(0, maxUserNameLength-3) + "..."; var authorcode = authorName; if(authorUri!="") authorcode = '<a class="profile-name-link" href="'+authorUri+'">'+authorcode+'</a>'; text = text.replace('[user]', authorcode); text = text.replace('[image]', imgcode); text = text.replace('[#]', position); text = text.replace('[count]', item.count); if(item.count != 1) text = text.replace('[post]', "posts"); else text = text.replace('[post]', "post"); return text; } var blauthors = {}; var blndxbase = 1; function showAuthors(json) { for(var i = 0 ; i < json.feed.entry.length ; i++ ) { var entry = json.feed.entry[i]; var authorUri = ""; if(entry.author[0].uri && entry.author[0].uri.$t != "") authorUri = entry.author[0].uri.$t; var authorName = entry.author[0].name.$t; if(blauthors[authorName]) blauthors[authorName].count++; else { var aut = new Object(); aut.author = entry.author[0]; aut.count = 1; blauthors[authorName] = aut; } } if(json.feed.entry.length == 500) { blndxbase += 500; document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://'+window.location.hostname+'/feeds/posts/default?redirect=false&max-results=500&start-index='+blndxbase+'&alt=json-in-script&callback=showAuthors"></'+'script>'); return; } var tuplear = []; for(var key in blauthors) tuplear.push([key, blauthors[key]]); tuplear.sort(function(a, b) { if(b[1].count-a[1].count) return b[1].count-a[1].count; return (a[1].author.name.$t.toLowerCase() < b[1].author.name.$t.toLowerCase()) ? -1 : 1; }); // output authors: document.write('<di'+'v class="blog-author">'); for(var i = 0; i < tuplear.length ; i++) { var item = tuplear[i][1]; document.write('<di'+'v class="author-line">'); document.write(replaceAuthorVars(txtAuthorLine, item, i+1)); document.write('</d'+'iv>'); } document.write('</d'+'iv>'); } document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://'+window.location.hostname+'/feeds/posts/default?redirect=false&max-results=500&alt=json-in-script&callback=showAuthors"></'+'script>'); </script>Having Problems??
